Fifa president Gianni Infantino recently attended the launch of the Under-20 Women’s World Cup but chose not to comment on his future, amid heightened scrutiny following his decision to abandon a controversial plan to sell off World Cup profits.

Watching from the stands alongside Cezary Kulesza, president of the Polish soccer federation, Infantino witnessed the host nation Poland face Argentina on the tournament's opening day.

Infantino remarked, "There will be a lot to say, but there will be a right place and a right time to say this. It’s not today, it’s not here, but here and today, we are enjoying football," during his arrival at the stadium. He affirmed FIFA's commitment to providing opportunities and dignity in football for all corners of the world.

When pressed about potential resignation or his intentions for a fourth term next year, Infantino declined to provide an answer. His recent public appearance followed a period of relative silence after his World Cup sell-off scheme faced significant backlash from several member associations and key figures within FIFA.

European nations, comprising a quarter of the 24-team tournament, had previously threatened to boycott but withdrew after FIFA assured them the plan would not be revived. Legal challenges concerning the initial proposal persist, with Europe leading efforts to remove Infantino ahead of next year's FIFA election.

A recent legal filing from FIFA accused Uefa of orchestrating a "smear campaign" against FIFA and its leadership, as Uefa seeks access to evidence related to the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) venture. Infantino faced backlash in July when details of his proposed $20 billion commercial subsidiary were leaked, prompting widespread criticism from senior FIFA officials and support for Uefa from the Asian Football Confederation and Concacaf.
