Football Australia has joined the Asian Football Confederation in pressuring FIFA president Gianni Infantino, demanding "clear and credible action" to address the ongoing crisis in world football. The organization released a statement Tuesday backing the AFC's position without explicitly calling for Infantino to resign.

Australia's three-paragraph statement came hours after the AFC issued stronger criticism of the FIFA leader. While supporting the confederation's stance, Football Australia maintained a more measured approach than some other federations responding to the turbulent situation.
