India, Aug. 18 -- FIFA has removed chief operating officer Kevin Lamour from his position, with the decision taking effect on August 17, 2026, following growing tensions with president Gianni Infantino. The move comes after a public clash between the two, marking a major shake-up within FIFA's senior leadership.

Lamour's exit follows his criticism of Infantino over alleged claims that FIFA staff had been misled about plans to sell stakes in World Cup commercial rights to private equity investors. His departure comes just around nine months after joining the organisation, bringing a swift end to his time in the senior role.
