POLICY WIRE — Amsterdam, Netherlands — The Dutch football association (KNVB) has proposed an emergency summit in Amsterdam to overhaul FIFA. The goal is to reduce the powers of the president and prepare for the potential replacement of Gianni Infantino by 2027.

The KNVB aims to gather global football leaders to devise strategies for cleaning up the governing body. Key proposals include diminishing the president’s authority and identifying a candidate to challenge Infantino’s re-election bid.

Infantino faces growing opposition worldwide as he seeks another term. A ‘global coalition’ of football fans has called for his dismissal, highlighting his declining support.

The World Football Summit (WFS), an international organization dedicated to shaping a sustainable and inclusive future for the game, supports this initiative. WFS brings together decision-makers from across the football ecosystem to address challenges and opportunities.
