FIFA President Gianni Infantino has refused to resign following a crisis meeting convened to address recent turmoil within the organization. Emerging from the seven-hour meeting, Infantino issued both an apology to the FIFA Council and a stern warning to those critical of FIFA. He acknowledged errors in the abandoned plan to sell a stake in FIFA tournaments to investors, promising a letter of apology to council members. However, he also declared FIFA will no longer tolerate attacks on its integrity and will take measures to defend its reputation. Despite facing significant pressure, Infantino maintains the full support of FIFA’s leadership group, as stated in a press release. He was later seen smiling alongside the Secretary General at a women's African Cup of Nations match, despite prior criticism from that same official.
