Europe's major leagues demand Fifa reforms before 2026

Four major European leagues — Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga — are calling for an urgent overhaul of Fifa's governance. Their joint statement criticizes the organization's expansionism and demands increased influence over strategic decisions. This pressure comes as Gianni Infantino prepares his candidacy for a fourth presidential term. The debate also centers on the 2026 World Cup, whose organization remains subject to persistent tensions.
