Infantino's 'time is up' with Fifa - La Liga boss

La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for Fifa president Gianni Infantino to step down, accusing football’s world governing body of damaging the sport’s wider business structure, according to a report from BBC Sport.

In comments highlighted by the broadcaster, Tebas said Infantino’s “time is up” at Fifa and alleged that the organization is “destroying the football industry.” The remarks add to a long-running dispute between La Liga leadership and Fifa over the direction of the game’s administration and commercial model.

The BBC Sport report does not give a detailed account of the broader exchange, but Tebas’ criticism appears to reflect deeper tensions over how football is governed at the global level. As La Liga president, Tebas has frequently positioned himself as an outspoken voice on the sport’s finances and scheduling, and his latest comments place him squarely in conflict with Fifa’s top leadership.

Infantino has been in charge of Fifa since 2016, overseeing a period in which the organization has expanded its footprint in the football calendar and global competition structure. Tebas’ intervention suggests that some major league officials remain deeply unhappy with that direction.

The comments are likely to resonate beyond Spain, given the significance of both La Liga and Fifa in shaping the modern game. While Tebas did not, in the feed summary, set out a detailed alternative plan, his call for Infantino to leave points to continuing friction between domestic leagues and the sport’s international governing body.
