Mexico and Argentina back Infantino, deepening football's civil war

Mexico breaks ranks with Concacaf to support the embattled Fifa president, escalating the global governance dispute.

What happened. The Mexican football federation has broken ranks with Concacaf by publicly backing Fifa president Gianni Infantino, deepening world football's civil war. Argentina has also issued its support.

• Concacaf has called for a thorough review of Fifa's governance.
• Concacaf supports Uefa's demands for meaningful change.
• Concacaf has not yet threatened to boycott tournaments.

The move could further isolate Infantino's critics and may influence governance reforms ahead of upcoming Fifa meetings.
