NewzUEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has harshly criticized FIFA president Gianni Infantino's controversial and ultimately failed attempt to secure private investment to run FIFA tournaments, equating the plan to a bid to "steal the sport." Ceferin described the initiative as being "even worse than the Super League plan," highlighting the severe rift between European football leadership and the global governing body.
In addition to condemning the tournament venture, Ceferin addressed his own political future within international football governance. The UEFA chief officially ruled out any ambition to challenge Infantino for the FIFA presidency, stating clearly that he is "not interested" in replacing him. Meanwhile, Infantino faces a confirmed challenger should he pursue re-election.
