If Infantino pledges to carry on, Uefa and other confederations will need to explore alternative ways to remove him.
What options remain?
The Fifa Council could try to pressure Infantino by calling an emergency meeting.
Such a meeting can be convened if 19 of the 37 Fifa Council members request it.
However, BBC Sport understands there is skepticism about securing those 19 votes.
Another route is an extraordinary congress of the 211 Fifa member associations, which can be held if one-fifth—43 associations—submit a request in writing.
That means Uefa, with its 55 nations, could trigger an extraordinary congress on its own.
The process would take at least two months from the trigger date, more likely three, and there’s no guarantee it would succeed.
In practice, it would amount to a de facto election without an opponent, since 106 votes are needed to pass a no-confidence motion.
Infantino would have time to win back support from those angered by the investment plan.
Uefa is likely to pursue this only if it believes it can reach the required threshold.
That leaves the option of finding a credible challenger for the Fifa Congress election in March.
Infantino ran unopposed in 2019 and 2023, and anyone seeking to challenge him must declare by 18 November.
Concacaf president Victor Montagliani is viewed as the most plausible unity candidate to run against Infantino.
Still, success is far from assured. Even at the height of the 2015 Fifa scandal, Sepp Blatter was re-elected just eight days before resigning.
If Infantino remains in place later on Wednesday, this saga could continue for some time yet.
