The Welsh federation stated that "failures in terms of good governance, processes, and leadership" have led them to believe Infantino has "lost the confidence of the Welsh Football Association to lead world football." They emphasized that "not putting the interest of football first is a failure we cannot accept." Infantino remains the only declared candidate for re-election in March 2027 for a four-year term.
