Is the FIFA Boss on His Way Out?
Two Options: How Gianni Infantino Could Be Ousted
Following the spectacular failure of his investor deal, Gianni Infantino is facing sharp criticism from various quarters and calls for his resignation. Here’s how the FIFA president could be ousted…

The British “Times” reported over the weekend that the controversial head of world soccer’s governing body could face an extraordinary meeting of the FIFA Council, at which he is expected to be asked to resign.
This so-called FIFA Council is the organization’s most important decision-making body between FIFA Congresses and consists of 37 members. To convene an emergency meeting, at least 19 members would have to vote in favor, according to the BBC. The meeting would have to take place within two weeks.
