FIFA 2027 challenger talks

European officials are lining up a challenger for Gianni Infantino ahead of the 2027 FIFA presidential elections, per The Telegraph. Victor Montagliani of CONCACAF and AFC's Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa are in the conversation, though no European name is on the table. The pushback follows Infantino's push to bring private investors into FIFA's commercial setup. UEFA slammed it as opaque and said a big chunk of the football world no longer trusts the leadership.
