A FIFA reagiu no sábado, alegando "um esforço concertado e contínuo de alguns para minar" o órgão regulador do futebol e Infantino.
No entanto, a carta de segunda-feira dos órgãos dirigentes do futebol europeu (UEFA), da América do Norte e Central (CONCACAF) e da Ásia (AFC), mostrou que seus críticos eram inflexíveis.
As três confederações pediram uma revisão totalmente independente da proposta de venda da participação.
Eles também criticaram uma reunião de emergência da FIFA no Marrocos na semana passada, dizendo que havia apenas um funcionário eleito presente, ao mesmo tempo em que pediam uma revisão independente na qual a FIFA não teria papel, para determinar o que levou a essa "profunda falha de julgamento.
On Friday, Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) President Lise Klaveness, seen by some as a potential candidate to replace Infantino, called on the 56-year-old to step down from the presidency immediately.
Klaveness has long been an outspoken critic of Infantino.
After quelling in-house dissent at the emergency meeting on Wednesday, FIFA apologised to the 211 federations and Infantino rallied his support among the six confederations that make up the world governing body.
Africa’s confederation CAF released a statement on behalf of its 54 members backing Infantino on Thursday, with CONCACAF member Mexico following suit along with South American countries Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador and Bolivia.
On Friday, as Infantino attended the inauguration of Colombia’s new President Abelardo De La Espriella in Cali, FIFA released a blistering attack on the president’s critics, saying attempts to challenge his leadership must follow the governing body’s statutes and democratic procedures.
FIFA also echoed the statements of several of the bodies that supported Infantino, as well as one from South American confederation CONMEBOL.
FIFA’s statement came after reports by The Daily Telegraph about payments made by UEFA to a former employee during Infantino’s time as the European governing body’s general secretary, allegations he has denied and that FIFA has rejected as unfounded.
Almost 70 of FIFA’s 211-member associations have said publicly they will vote for Infantino, with about a dozen either withdrawing previously promised support or saying they will not vote for him.
UEFA apart, the confederations that say they have lost confidence in Infantino are not completely united, with several Asian nations backing him as well as Mexico from CONCACAF.
