Mexico break ranks to join Argentina in backing Infantino

Mexico has become the latest nation to publicly support Fifa president Gianni Infantino, according to BBC Sport, breaking with the position of its regional governing body Concacaf.

The move places Mexico alongside Argentina in backing Infantino, who is currently under pressure within world football's governing body. While the exact nature of that pressure was not detailed in the report, the public support from two prominent football nations adds a notable counterweight to criticism he has faced.

Concacaf, which oversees football in North and Central America and the Caribbean, has not given its backing to Infantino, making Mexico's decision to voice support independently a significant departure from the regional line.

The full context of the dispute and Infantino's standing ahead of upcoming Fifa meetings remains unclear, but Mexico's public stance, as reported by BBC Sport, signals that the president retains backing in key corners of the international game.
