Infantino 'wrong man' to lead FIFA: UK PM Burnham
This photo taken on October 8, 2015 in Zurich shows the entrance sign with the logo at the FIFA world headquarters. World football's governing body FIFA vowed on July 31, 2026 to press ahead with an "open and democratic" consultation on a proposed private investment plan despite widespread opposition to the proposal.

As global opposition mounted, Burnham returned to the subject, calling the plan "an outrageous suggestion".
"The idea that it could even be brought forward shows that, in my view, that (Infantino) is the wrong man to lead the organisation," Burnham added.
Burnham's strong words follow his initial robust reaction to Infantino's proposals earlier in the week.
"Football does not belong to investors," the Everton supporter tweeted on Tuesday.
"It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine."
