Hans-Joachim Watzke, a prominent official within the German Football Association (DFB), has publicly called for the immediate resignation of FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Watzke’s comments, characterized by a firm stance that Infantino 'must go, no ifs or buts,' represent a significant escalation in the criticism directed at the head of world football's governing body.

While the report from Al Jazeera highlights Watzke’s demand, it does not provide specific details regarding the underlying grievances or policy disagreements that prompted his call for a leadership change. The report frames the development as part of a broader, ongoing trend of international officials questioning Infantino’s tenure. Currently, there is no official response from FIFA or Infantino’s office regarding Watzke’s specific remarks. The situation remains fluid, as the German official’s comments reflect a deepening divide between some European football associations and the current FIFA administration.
