Удирдлагын хямрал нүүрлэсэн энэ цаг үед ажилтнуудаа улс төржсөн нөхцөл байдлаас хамгаалахаа удирдлагууд мэдэгдлээ.
ФИФА-гийн Ерөнхий нарийн бичгийн дарга Матиас Графстрём дэлхийн хөлбөмбөгийн удирдах байгууллагын ажилтнуудад илгээсэн захидалдаа хувь хүн, тогтворгүй мөчүүд өнгөрч оддог хэдий ч байгууллагын эрхэм зорилго үргэлжилдэг гэдгийг онцолжээ. Тэрээр Жанни Инфантиногийн боловсруулсан ФИФА Форвард Энтерпрайз /FFE/ төлөвлөгөөг эцэслэн цуцалсныг харамсалтай боловч зөв шийдвэр болсныг тэмдэглээд, энэхүү төслийн талаар урьдчилан мэдэхгүй байснаа илэрхийлжээ. Мөн захидалдаа засаг захиргааны ажилтнуудыг одоогийн улс төрийн нөхцөл байдлаас тууштай хамгаалж, мэргэжлийн ёс зүйгээ хадгалахыг уриалсан байна.
Өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт гарсан үйл явдлуудын улмаас Инфантиногийн эсрэг шахалт нэмэгдэж, ФИФА-гийн үйл ажиллагаа хариуцсан захирал Кевин Ламур ажилтнуудыг хууран мэхэлсэн уг төслийг нэг хүний санаачилга хэмээн шүүмжилжээ. Үүнтэй холбоотойгоор Инфантиногийн ахлах зөвлөх Карлос Кордейро албан тушааласаа огцорсон байна.
УЕФА буюу Европын хөлбөмбөгийн холбоо Инфантиног удирдлагын чадамжгүй болсон гэж үзэж огцрохыг шаардсан бол Английн хөлбөмбөгийн холбоо Уэльсийн холбооны адил ирэх жилийн сонгуульд түүнийг дэмжихээ зогсоохоор болжээ. Одоогоор ФИФА-гийн зүгээс уг асуудлаар ямар нэгэн тайлбар өгөөгүй байна.

FIFA secretary-general Mattias Grafstrom has told staff at world football’s governing body that “individuals, unstable moments and unfortunate episodes come and go” as pressure mounts on Gianni Infantino following his failed FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan.
Grafstrom is second in rank only to Infantino at the organisation and was yet to comment on what has unfolded over the last week.
But in a letter sent to staff at FIFA on Tuesday morning, which has been seen by The Athletic, Grafstrom described the scrapped FFE plans as a “sad and reproachable series of events — which were thankfully concluded with the FFE project permanently abandoned”.
The Athletic has previously reported that Grafstrom was not aware of the FFE scheme, which had been drawn up by Infantino.
“The last week has been both extraordinary and challenging for all the members of FIFA staff in our offices around the world,” his internal memo to staff read. “This is why I wanted that you were the first ones to hear from me.
“We have all been thrown into the middle of a turmoil, which is difficult to comprehend and accept.
“I assure you that you as members of the administration, you will be defended and safeguarded from the political context we currently experience. You do not need to worry.
“Individuals, unstable moments and unfortunate episodes come and go. The institution, its mission and its responsibility towards world football continue, and that is why we should always keep our professionalism, sense of perspective and composure.”
Although Grafstrom’s comments were sent internally, he joins Kevin Lamour, FIFA’s chief operating officer, in criticising the plans drawn up by Infantino.
In a statement to the Associated Press last week, Lamour said staff at the organisation had been “deceived” and described FFE as “the project of one person”.
Infantino’s senior advisor Carlos Cordeiro also resigned last week due to his opposition to the plans.
UEFA, European football’s governing body, has called for Infantino to go, saying they have lost confidence in his leadership, while the English Football Association is set to follow the Football Association of Wales and withdraw their letter of support for Infantino’s re-election next year.
FIFA has been approached for comment.
