On Thursday, several football fan organisations from around the world jointly launched an initiative collecting signatures for a petition demanding that Gianni Infantino resign as president of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA).
The organisers of the petition have framed it as a stand against what they call a betrayal that football will never forget. The phrasing reflects how seriously the initiators view the current state of the sport's governing body.
The signature-gathering campaign is aimed specifically at pushing Infantino out of the FIFA presidency. The initiative brings together supporter groups from multiple countries and continents who are voicing shared dissatisfaction with FIFA's current leadership.
It is not yet known how much support the petition has gathered since it was launched, nor how FIFA or Infantino himself will respond to the campaign.
