Is Infantino's exit now inevitable?

About this episode

Adam Leventhal is joined by The Athletic’s Matt Slater, Adam Crafton, and James Horncastle to unpack a week that shook global football. The panel dissects how Gianni Infantino’s multi-billion-dollar plans to sell off stakes in FIFA tournaments fell apart, the scale of pushback, and whether this historic U-turn leaves Infantino’s presidency in serious jeopardy.


Plus, UEFA Vice-President Laura McAllister joins the show to offer an insider perspective on leading the opposition. As a pivotal voice in the call for a potential boycott, she breaks down the emergency meetings and what needs to happen next at FIFA.
