Northern Ireland Withdraws Support for Infantino

Infantino faces mounting pressure as football associations across Europe and beyond withdraw their support. The Norwegian Football Association already declared no confidence in August, while England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland have also withdrawn support. UEFA, with backing from Asian and CONCACAF confederations, is considering a vote of no confidence against the FIFA president.
