Gianni Infantino will hold a crisis meeting with top FIFA officials in Morocco on Wednesday as ⁠he looks to shore up his position in ⁠the wake of the collapse of his gambit to sell off commercial rights to the World Cup.

The FIFA president has been the subject of a torrent of criticism, and no small amount of personal abuse, since he floated the idea of the new commercial rights body to FIFA’s 211 member associations last week.

Evidence behind the grade

Sweeping generalizationbody

+10 · 78% confidence

Infantino has always ⁠enjoyed a lot of support away from the traditional heartlands of the game, where impoverished football associations rely on FIFA’s largesse to operate.

The wording makes a broad claim that may exceed the evidence described in the sentence.

Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

Infantino’s backdown last Friday has done little to assuage those critics, most notably the European confederation UEFA, which accused him of selling the soul of the game and said it no longer has confidence in his leadership.
