Norway's soccer federation president has called on Gianni Infantino to resign, saying there is "no trust" in him now, while Mexico and Argentina have expressed their support for the embattled FIFA president.
Infantino has been under pressure after three continents rejected his plan to seek private investment in a company which would run FIFA's competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups.
The Norwegian federation held a meeting on Thursday and president Lise Klaveness said the decision had been made to ask Infantino to resign.

"When trust is gone, leadership must also be assessed. We therefore believe that Gianni Infantino's time as FIFA president should be over, and ask him to resign," Klaveness said via translation.
The announcement is the latest blow for Infantino as the fallout continues over his controversial plan to sell profits in the World Cup through a commercial subsidiary called the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE).
European soccer's governing body UEFA said Thursday its threat to boycott the World Cup and other FIFA competitions remained in place despite FIFA abandoning and apologizing for its failed plan.
It reiterated its stance that it had lost confidence in Infantino.
Earlier this week Infantino appeared to have held off the potential of an internal revolt during a summit meeting with top staff in Rabat, Morocco.
FIFA said the president had been given the full support of those in attendance.
But UEFA's response, followed by Norway's direct call for him to resign shows the sense of anger from Europe, in particular, remains strong.
The English Football Association has also withdrawn its support for Infantino's re-election next March.
He did, however, receive backing from the federations of Mexico and Argentina.
Mexico's support comes after its continental confederation, Concacaf, issued a rebuke of Infantino last Saturday, accusing him of a "unilateral and egregious act of poor governance" in relation to the private investor plan, and calling for a full review of his leadership.
Mexico's football federation (FMF) said it joined Infantino's call to "collectively continue developing football for the benefit of all 211 member associations."
The FMF said it "supports the leadership of President Infantino in continuing to promote the development of football through institutional strengthening."
Argentina's football association, the AFA, thanked Infantino for his 10 years' service and for the transformation of FIFA he had brought about, which it said had been achieved through a "transparent governance model."
Argentina is part of the South American confederation CONMEBOL, which is lobbying FIFA to expand the 2030 finals to 64 teams.
CONMEBOL said on Thursday it would not support any move to oust Infantino on an accelerated timetable, while the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) expressed its "unanimous support" for Infantino on Thursday.
On Friday morning LaLiga president Javier Tebas said the way associations, FIFA Council and even top FIFA executives had been kept in the dark about the private investor plan amounted to a "grave breakdown of institutional governance."
The Norwegian federation said it would raise concerns with FIFA regarding FFE, the peace prize awarded to Donald Trump and the suspension of United States striker Folarin Balogun's one-match ban at the World Cup.
"FIFA needs new leadership to rebuild trust, strengthen good governance and ensure that the organization's own reforms are actually implemented," Klaveness said.
