Mexico and Argentina's football associations have thrown their support behind FIFA President Gianni Infantino, as the world soccer chief faces a fierce backlash over a now-abandoned proposal to sell off some of the commercial rights to the World Cup.

Argentine Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia has described the current national team as the greatest in the country's history, saying their record of reaching five finals and winning four sets them apart from every previous generation.

Police on Tuesday raided the headquarters of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) in Buenos Aires as part of an investigation into alleged tax evasion by a company associated with it.
