FIFA president Gianni Infantino says he has “never been more determined and committed” to doing “what is right for the game” after pledging to conduct an independent review of the organisation’s governance.

Infantino has faced major criticism and pressure, particularly from European football’s governing body UEFA, since plans for private investment in a commercial vehicle to run the World Cup and other FIFA competitions was first reported by The Times in July.
