In a letter seen by the BBC, Concacaf president Victor Montagliani referred to the "governance crisis surrounding Fifa", before asking Infantino to reconsider attending the CFU Under-14 Series event. He added that Infantino's presence would "unfortunately undermine the technical nature" of the competition.
Infantino, who was well received upon arrival in the Caribbean country, has faced heavy criticism over his Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal and attempts to sell stakes in World Cup competitions to private investors.
A number of football associations have withdrawn their support for Infantino, who retains backing from Conmebol and Caf.
