FIFA President Gianni Infantino reacted to the emerging reports about his potential resignation. He emphasized that he continues to perform his duties in accordance with the democratic election process by association members and based on their mandate.
Argentine President Javier Milei made a statement regarding the criticism that arose around the JCH final match. He also asserted that the government led by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva played a significant role in this campaign.
Javier Milei emphasized that the criticism directed at the national team, as well as fan accusations of racism and conspiracy theories that FIFA secretly supported Argentina, are part of a coordinated campaign.
According to Milei, this campaign is funded by structures such as the Democratic Party of the United States, as well as the governments of Brazil and Mexico. Milei stated: 'This is the work of progressive forces that do not desire the victory of ideals of freedom.'
The President of Argentina reiterated the leading role of the Brazilian government headed by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in this campaign. It should be noted that previously, the president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) also issued an official statement regarding the 2026 World Cup final.
