Infantino is fighting to save his job after a barrage of criticism for his aborted plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.

The governing bodies of European football (UEFA), North and Central America (CONCACAF) and Asia (AFC) stepped up the pressure on Infantino in a joint letter this week, declaring “trust is broken through deception, when an individual places himself above the collective that entrusted him with authority.”.

It is believed they want Infantino to resign before he has the chance to seek re-election in March next year.

But Motsepe, a FIFA vice president and Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) president, is adamant that Infantino’s fate should be decided through the ballot box.

Motsepe was in Salzburg at the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday to hold talks with UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, whose organisation are threatening to boycott the World Cup and Club World Cup in protest at Infantino’s scheme.

A CAF já havia apoiado Infantino, e Motsepe alegou que não houve violação de regras sobre as negociações de venda da Copa do Mundo porque as propostas seriam submetidas aos membros da FIFA para aprovação final.

However, there has been no end to the tidal wave of criticism engulfing Infantino.

On Thursday, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) became the latest FIFA member to withdraw its support for Infantino.

The English FA and Welsh FA had already withdrawn their backing for the 56-year-old Swiss.

Six Arab federations, including Qatar, Morocco and Egypt, offered their backing to Infantino on Thursday morning.
