Belgium joins European rebellion against FIFA president Infantino ahead of 2027 election

Belgium's football federation announced it will not support Gianni Infantino in the 2027 FIFA presidential election, citing lack of transparency in the FIFA Forward Enterprise project and the Balogun case during the World Cup. This adds to a growing list of European associations (England, Italy, Netherlands, Scotland, and several Nordic federations) distancing themselves from Infantino, who has confirmed he will seek another term and still faces no official rival. The development signals a potential shift in FIFA's internal power dynamics, though the impact on global football governance remains uncertain.
