Gianni Infantino remains a major talking point even after the World Cup, with fresh criticism aimed at the FIFA president. One of his most influential opponents has reportedly said that "time is up" for Infantino, underlining how sharply divided opinion remains around his leadership.
Infantino has long been one of the most controversial figures in world football. His presidency has been associated with the growing commercial power of FIFA and the expanding global reach of its tournaments, but those same developments have also fueled backlash from critics who believe the governing body has lost sight of wider concerns around the sport.
The latest attack appears to reflect a deeper struggle over FIFA's direction and Infantino's grip on the organization. Being described in such harsh terms by a powerful critic shows that opposition to his leadership is not fading simply because the World Cup is over.
For now, the debate around Gianni Infantino is centered on more than tournament results or football politics in the short term. It is also about the future image of FIFA, the balance between business and governance, and whether the president can continue to withstand mounting pressure from within the game.
