Luis Figo, the former Portuguese international and Ballon d'Or winner, has issued a public call for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to step down from his position. In a statement posted to the social media platform X, Figo expressed strong disapproval of Infantino’s tenure, asserting that the current leadership has "debased" the office of the FIFA presidency.

Figo’s comments center on the perceived loss of dignity within the organization under Infantino's watch. In his post, Figo wrote, "It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now." This demand reflects ongoing tensions regarding the governance and direction of world football's governing body. While Figo did not detail specific policy grievances in this particular post, his call for an immediate resignation highlights a significant rift between the current FIFA administration and prominent figures within the sport's history. As of now, FIFA has not issued a formal response to Figo’s specific demand for the president's departure.
