The situation surrounding the future of Gianni Infantino continues to be talked about. The FIFA president in office for ten years got his feet wet shortly after the 2026 World Cup, when his plan to sell shares of the World Cup to private investors was revealed. Since then, everyone has taken a stand. Sometimes clearly, sometimes a little less or not at all. Concerning France, questions remain as to the real thinking of the FFF.
For Romain Molina, however, things are crystal clear. The journalist published a video on Friday on his YouTube channel, to deliver the fruit of his investigation concerning Philippe Diallo, on this famous subject of the position to be had in the Infantino file. According to him, the leader would play a double game and continue to support the FIFA boss behind the scenes, despite having publicly condemned the latter’s attitude.
Tuesday evening, Daniel Riolo also delivered the fruit of his research. “ Yes the FFF will speak out, Philippe Diallo was clear on the project, today it came out everywhere, he will not vote for Gianni Infantino, he will even be an important opponent, in the same way as all the European countries which threatened a boycott, and France was in it. » For the RMC journalist, Philippe Diallo is simply waiting for the Comex on September 8 to confirm that France will not support Gianni Infantino during the FIFA presidential election in March 2027.
Philippe Diallo, the versions conflict
Obviously not in agreement with what Romain Molina collected as information. The latter reacted again on his social networks. And he targeted Daniel Riolo’s employer media.
“The FFF organized a crisis meeting yesterday because of Diallo’s hidden support for Infantino. However, several media (L’Équipe and RMC in particular) swallow the communication/elements of language of Image 7 (provider of the federation because obviously the com unit is not enough) to say that this is not true (while the FFF has not even officially denied it). »
And the one who has also written several works related to the world of football concludes. “I maintain and sign: Diallo is working behind the scenes for Infantino but he just doesn’t want it to be known too much because UEFA is angry with him (the same for its Executive Committee which however has no courage to confront him) Poor hypocritical French football. »
