The Mexican Football Federation just threw its weight behind FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s plea for institutional order, making their stance crystal clear.

Mexico Declares Its Loyalty

The FMF came out swinging this afternoon, declaring they won’t recognize or approve anything outside that official framework. They’re all in on Infantino’s August 5, 2026 call, aiming to keep football developing for all 211 member associations. They’re backing his leadership, straight up, for strengthening the institution, and that’s a big statement in the current climate.

FIFA’s Confession Meets UEFA’s Distrust

This move from the FMF is happening right after a wild 24 hours for the global game. FIFA itself admitted it messed up during the whole “creating” FIFA Forward Enterprise process. And get this: on the very same day Mexico backed Infantino, UEFA basically said “we still don’t trust you, Gianni.” Talk about a complicated landscape, right? It’s clear the future of football’s development, and Infantino’s leadership, is facing some serious questions across the globe.
