THE FACTSBY COUNTRYSIDE BY SIDE BLIND SPOTS

DOMINANT ANGLE

Brussels reads FIFA's governance crisis through the Čeferin-Infantino power struggle and alleged Macron involvement, rather than through African support for Infantino, absent from Belgian coverage.

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media

ON THE POINTS OF DIVERGENCE

Continental support for Infantino
Coverage that diverges · with 6 other countries

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Franco-Belgian framing: significant focus on Emmanuel Macron's and the Élysée's alleged role, while other stakeholders in the matter (Africa, Jordan) remain outside the scope of Belgian coverage.

Preference for academic expert analysis (UCLouvain) over direct accusation against Infantino.

Limited coverage of African support for Infantino (CAF, Patrice Motsepe), absent from Belgian articles examined.
