Tebas Blasts Infantino, Urges FIFA President to Resign After World Cup Controversies

La Liga president Javier Tebas says FIFA is destroying the sport. He slammed proposals to expand the 2030 World Cup to 64 teams and criticised extended hydration breaks as little more than commercial pauses. Tebas warned that FIFA’s decisions threaten domestic leagues and thousands of jobs. He pointed to the suspended red card for US striker Folarin Balogun—overturned after political pressure—as evidence of flawed governance. He insisted Infantino’s time has come, yet noted there’s no clear challenger and the system remains dominated by the establishment.

Extended hydration breaks feel less about player welfare and more like planned pauses for extra commercial revenue in today's tournaments.

Clubs could improve their own hydration and rotation strategies rather than rely on extended tournament breaks to manage player fatigue.
