(FILES) (L/R): then former president of the United States Soccer Federation Carlos Cordeiro looks on as FIFA President Gianni Infantino presents US President Donald Trump with a gift in the Oval Office of the White House during a visit by members of Italian soccer club Juventus in Washington, DC, on June 18, 2025. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) joined UEFA and CONCACAF in condemning world football's governing body FIFA's proposed private investment plan, saying on July 31, 2026, that they were alarmed it had reached the point a "World Cup boycott has entered public discourse". A damaging blow to FIFA president Gianni Infantino came with the later resignation of a senior advisor Carlos Cordeiro, who issued an excoriating statement.
