UEFA, CONCACAF and AFC accuse FIFA of ‘deception’ and ‘breach of trust’ over World Cup plans

Sports 3 sources 2 countries 🔦 Under-reported 6m ago

The governing bodies of UEFA, CONCACAF, and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have issued an open letter accusing FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, of a fundamental breach of trust. The dispute centers on FIFA’s recent proposals to sell a stake in the World Cup, an initiative the confederations claim was pursued through deception and without proper consultation with the institutions FIFA serves.

This collective action marks a significant internal conflict within world soccer’s governing structure. By characterizing the move as a breach of trust, the three confederations are challenging the transparency and decision-making processes of FIFA leadership regarding the commercial future of its premier tournament.
