Gianni Infantino has called an emergency meeting of FIFA staff in Rabat on Wednesday, as growing pressure focuses attention on the organisation’s president. The meeting is expected to bring FIFA personnel together during a period of heightened scrutiny.

The development places Infantino’s leadership at the centre of discussion within football’s global governing body. Details of the issues behind the pressure were not fully outlined in the available report.

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who serves as FIFA’s chief of global football development, was also referenced in connection with the wider developments. The emergency gathering in Morocco is set to be a significant moment for FIFA staff and its leadership.
