New Zealand break with OFC to withdraw Infantino support

New Zealand has withdrawn its support for Fifa president Gianni Infantino, breaking away from the Oceania Football Confederation's stance. This decision makes New Zealand the latest nation to oppose Infantino's leadership. The move marks a significant shift in the country's football governance alignment, as it diverges from the Oceania governing body's position. New Zealand's withdrawal of support adds to the growing list of nations questioning Infantino's presidency.
