Gianni Infantino has been left with six open backers at FIFA in his bid for re-election ahead of the 2027 presidential election after the collapse of the FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal.
The remaining supporters are Qatar, the UAE, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Lebanon and Kuwait.
UEFA has warned of legal action and continues to criticise FIFA's governance, and potential challengers are emerging as scrutiny over Infantino's leadership intensifies.
