The Story in Brief
La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for Gianni Infantino's removal as FIFA chief, declaring in an interview with Le Monde that 'the Infantino era is over'. Tebas spoke shortly after FIFA abandoned a secret project dubbed 'FIFA Forward Enterprise', which aimed to bring in private investors. Tebas accused Infantino's leadership of destroying the essence of football by undermining domestic leagues. He insisted the problem is systemic, not just one man, and called for a genuine overhaul of governance at FIFA, not just a change of faces.
The Indian Opinion
Tebas has a point about FIFA's secretive 'Forward Enterprise' fiasco, but his attack also suits La Liga's fear of losing power to a global calendar. The narrative that Infantino alone is the problem lets the 211 member associations off the hook, they elect him. The real test will come at the next FIFA Congress: will any confederation nominate a reform candidate, or will it be another backroom deal dressed as change?
