In a statement confirming the abandonment of the project, Infantino admitted the scheme had become too toxic to continue. "Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place. Our purpose has always been – and will always be - to unite and improve. As a result, this proposal will not proceed," Infantino stated.
