Oceania confederation welcomes FIFA review, NZ withdraws support for Infantino

The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) said on Friday it welcomed FIFA's review of its failed private investment plan but New ​Zealand broke with the regional bloc by withdrawing support for under-pressure President Gianni Infantino, Reuters reported. 

Infantino, who is seeking reelection next year, has faced open revolt after three confederations — UEFA, the AFC and CONCACAF — called for a review of his leadership and attacked his conduct over the aborted bid to bring ​private investment into the World Cup and other FIFA competitions.
