AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoFIFA Leadership Crisis: Gianni Infantino is holding a crisis meeting in Morocco after FIFA withdrew a plan to sell a 20% stake in World Cup commercial rights, a move that sparked backlash and raised fresh doubts about his March 2027 re-election; FIFA also issued an apology to member associations for how the proposal was handled and said it will review decision-making. San Marino in the Spotlight: The fallout matters for small nations too—each of FIFA’s 211 associations has one vote, so San Marino’s support carries the same weight as major football powers. Local Angle—Fintech: A new look at San Marino’s strategy argues the microstate is using fintech to modernize its financial system and compete internationally, aiming for a digitally enabled, regulation-led approach rather than chasing “unicorn” hype. Sports—San Marino at the Mediterranean Games: San Marino will send Alessandra Perilli and Gian Marco Berti, Tokyo 2020 medalists, to the 2026 Mediterranean Games in Taranto. Culture & Music: Boy George says he will fire band members who refuse to perform his controversial pro-Israel song, “We Will Dance Again,” which has drawn major criticism.
