La Liga president Javier Tebas is demanding FIFA chief Gianni Infantino step down, slamming his expansionist agenda as a threat to the health of global football. Tebas argues that prioritizing mega-events like the World Cup over domestic leagues—vital for jobs and year-round competition—is unsustainable. He’s long criticized Infantino’s push for a 64-team 2030 World Cup and fixture congestion, even citing controversial World Cup tactics like extended halftime and hydration breaks as distractions for profit, not player welfare. Despite mounting criticism from fans and groups like Football Supporters Europe—who call for structural reforms and accuse FIFA of prioritizing spectacle over the game’s soul—Infantino is poised for a fourth term. Tebas warns that without real opposition, the status quo will persist, leaving football’s foundations weakened.
