Antigua defends embattled FIFA chief

ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC): President of the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association (ABFA), Ickford Roberts, has revealed that the association continues to support embattled FIFA President Gianni Infantino because of his focus on assisting smaller football nations, including those in the Caribbean.
