The Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) has called for FIFA president Gianni Infantino to resign immediately, citing a complete loss of confidence in his leadership following a series of controversies, most notably the failed attempt to sell stakes in the FIFA World Cup to private investors through the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) scheme.

The decision was made during an NFF board meeting on Thursday night. Norway, which has long been one of the strongest advocates for greater transparency and governance reforms in FIFA, said recent developments have left the federation with no confidence in Infantino's leadership.

"We decided that there is no trust in Infantino now," NFF president Lise Klaveness told The Guardian. "We have been worried consistently, and every year there has been another step in the wrong direction. The trust is now gone for us. There is no way back for Infantino."

She added: "We are left with a very polarised global football community and, I would say, chaos. We will ask him to resign immediately so that world football can move forward under renewed cooperation."

The NFF is expected to send a formal letter to FIFA next week requesting Infantino's resignation. Norway was among the few member associations that refused to support his re-election in 2023, and several European football federations have reportedly withdrawn their backing in recent days.

Klaveness said Norway had hoped Infantino would deliver on the governance reforms he had promised after taking office.

"We did not vote for him in 2023, but once he was elected we hoped he would implement the reforms he had been part of. He did not, and now we believe the only solution is for him to step down," she said.

In addition to demanding his resignation, Norway plans to file a fresh complaint with FIFA's Ethics Committee covering three separate issues: the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) controversy, FIFA's decision to award its "Peace Prize" to U.S. President Donald Trump, and the handling of the Folarin Balogun affair during the recent FIFA World Cup.

The NFF is also expected to seek support from several major football federations in submitting the complaint, increasing pressure on FIFA's leadership amid growing concerns over governance and accountability.
