WASHINGTON — United States President Donald Trump said on Monday it would be "a terrible mistake" to replace Gianni Infantino, the embattled Fédération Internationale de Football Association (Fifa) president who tried, and failed, to sell off part of the World Cup to private investors.
Infantino came under renewed fire in an open letter signed by three confederations -- Europe's Union of European Football Associations (Uefa), North and Central America's Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf) and Asia's Asian Football Confederation (AFC) -- accusing the world football boss of breaking trust "through deception".
