FIFA apologised on August 6, 2026, after a crisis meeting in Morocco for mistakes in handling Gianni Infantino’s failed FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal.
Infantino and secretary general Mattias Grafström admitted errors in the process. FIFA declared the controversial plan abandoned.
The governing body reaffirmed its support for the president, while criticism continues ahead of Infantino’s expected re-election bid.
