Wales have become the first nation to publicly withdraw backing for Gianni Infantino's bid to continue his leadership of Fifa.
It follows the loss of confidence in the Fifa president following his scrapped plans to sell stakes in its competitions to private investment firms.
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has confirmed "its withdrawal of support for the candidature of Mr Gianni Infantino for re-election as Fifa president for the 2027-2031 term".
Infantino's lucrative plan sparked a global outcry, with European football's governing body Uefa threatening to boycott all Fifa competitions, including the World Cup.
Uefa and Concacaf - which oversees football in North, Central America and the Caribbean - both released statements on Saturday criticising the leadership of the world governing body following Infantino's decision to withdraw the plan.
The FAW added: "The recent failures in good governance, processes, leadership, values, stakeholder management, communications and sound judgement have led us to a position where Mr Infantino has lost the confidence of the FAW to remain at the helm of world football.
"Failing to put the best interests of football first is a failure we cannot accept."
