CFU backs FIFA boss

The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) announced yesterday it will endorse Gianni Infantino for another term as FIFA president in the election in March.

Infantino recently made two trips to the Caribbean, including this week, to secure the bloc’s support despite lingering controversy over his aborted World Cup investment plan.

“The CFU emphasises that it determined its collective position through consultation with its member associations,” the organisation said in a statement. “In this same spirit the CFU continues to call for increased transparency, good governance, and meaningful reform within the football family.”
