Israel's football association has become the latest body to withdraw support for Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, following a "crisis of confidence". His firing of chief operating officer Kevin Lamour, who criticised a World Cup sell-off plan, prompted the move. Other European members like England and Scotland have also withdrawn support for Infantino.
