Delegates walk out of Fifa congress after Infantino arrives late from Trump trip

European Fifa member associations walked out during the governing body's annual congress in Paraguay due to President Gianni Infantino's late arrival. He was in the Middle East earlier this week, leading meetings about World Cup-related events and his absence caused the meeting to start three hours late. Uefa and other European delegates apologized for the delay but emphasized their commitment to international football governance, with concerns over potential troublemakers influencing their decision.
