World football governing body, FIFA, has reaffirmed its support for its embattled president, Gianni Infantino, following a crisis meeting in Morocco on Wednesday amid calls for him to resign.

FIFA also apologised to its member associations for mistakes made over the now-shelved proposal to open the World Cup to private investment.

"A review will now be conducted, and a report will be presented to the FIFA Council at its next scheduled meeting," the FIFA statement said.

The controversial plan to sell a 20 per cent stake in a new commercial rights entity provoked a fierce backlash and ‌was withdrawn last Friday.
