Supporters of Norway's football body argue that holding FIFA's president to the same ethical standards as everyone in football is a moral duty, not an attack.
Supporters of Norway's football body argue that FIFA's leaders must answer to the same moral scrutiny they impose on others, so examining Infantino's conduct is a duty, not a vendetta.
Supporters of Norway's football body counter that due process loses moral force when the body itself stalls, leaving complainants unprotected while procedure drags on.
Supporters of Norway's football body argue that FIFA's Ethics Committee must judge Infantino's conduct, invoking the principle that stewardship of the game is a moral trust answerable to a higher authority.

Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue that FIFA's cultural mission depends on a president empowered to act swiftly across 211 member nations, and that Norway's complaints risk fracturing that shared football identity.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue that FIFA's global football culture depends on stable, centralized leadership, and that Norway's complaints risk undermining the institution's authority over its member associations.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino counter that football's living culture now spans every continent, so a single Nordic tradition cannot claim to define the sport's integrity for all.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue Norway's complaints lack cited legal basis, maintaining FIFA's Ethics Committee is the proper venue and Infantino's conduct falls within his presidential mandate absent a proven rule violation.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue the Ethics Committee is the proper forum to test these complaints, and that unproven allegations of abuse of power must not be treated as established facts.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino counter that FIFA's Ethics Committee cannot adjudicate a sitting president's conduct without the Council first referring the matter, so a direct member filing bypasses the legal procedure the statutes prescribe.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue that Norway’s complaints are a bid to curb his consolidated control over FIFA’s patronage and agenda, not a neutral ethics plea.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue Norway's ethics complaints are less about principle than leverage, a bid to weaken a president whose power base rests on votes, not Nordic approval.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino counter that scrutiny only bites when rivals see a reason to defect, and the Norwegian complaint gives them none—the votes and money still flow his way.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue that due process must be respected, and that unproven complaints should not be treated as guilt before the Ethics Committee has ruled.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue that Norway's complaints bypass the presumption of innocence, and that fairness requires the Ethics Committee, not public filings, to judge his conduct first.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino counter that singling out the president for special moral scrutiny risks undermining FIFA's collective governance, since ethics apply equally to all members, not one figure alone.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue that FIFA's governance rightly rests on established authority, citing scripture's call to respect appointed leaders, and maintain the complaints lack doctrinal or evidentiary merit.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino argue that judgment belongs to God alone, citing scripture that the Lord appoints and removes leaders, so Norway's complaints should await divine and proper review.
Supporters of Gianni Infantino counter that judgment belongs ultimately to God, not to any committee, and that Infantino answers to a higher moral authority than FIFA's own process.
