FIFA President Gianni Infantino insists he has the backing of the "vast, vast majority" of world football, laughing off questions about whether he had considered resigning over the controversial FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal.

Two months ago, Infantino faced mounting calls to stand down. The heads of UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation, and CONCACAF signed a letter accusing him of breaking trust "through deception." Last week, UEFA demanded that FIFA release all key documents relating to FFE by November 2, saying the organisation had failed to address "a number of fundamental questions." Under FFE, which Infantino scrapped within days, a portion of the commercial rights of FIFA competitions would have been sold to a private investment firm.

Asked if he was fit to be FIFA president and whether he had considered standing down, he laughed before saying: "I was elected by 211 member associations from all over the world. If we are serious about democracy, then we need to respect the views of the vast, vast majority." He continued: "There are different points of view, it's not always easy to bring them all under one roof, but we need to respect and I do respect all opinions and views, and then it will be up to the FIFA member associations to decide who they want as a president." The deadline for candidates to stand against Infantino in the March election is November 18, although none have yet filed.
