The DFB are threatening legal action, and there’s even been talk of walking away altogether. Are cracks with FIFA starting to show?It’s a suggestion that has almost felt too great to take on, but now it’s out in the open. It has been clear for some time that there is a threat of a schism in world football, but this possibility has never really been discussed at any length over the last ten years.
And Denmark have spoken, too. They have confirmed that they will not be voting for Gianni Infantino to be re-elected as its president. In a clear sign of a functioning, democratic organisation, Infantino is running unopposed in the forthcoming elections.
Infantino’s talk of keeping politics out of football is obvious bunkum, because football is ultimately just a game that reflects the world in which it’s being played. We talk of the soft power that football can afford those who will pay vast amounts of money, but the soft power that comes from, well,And it’s commonly understood that for all the talk of the ‘football family’, this particular family is riven asunder by rivalries, superiority complexes, jealousy and ambition.
But is FIFA an anocracy? We already know that it isn’t a properly functioning democracy. That much can be seen from Infantino running unopposed to continue as FIFA president. But is it an anocracy or an autocracy? DBU president Jesper Moller told the press that: “There are 211 countries in FIFA and I understand that the current president has statements of support from 207 countries.
