FIFA accuses UEFA of carrying out a "smear campaign" in relation to Infantino's plan
Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported45m ago
FIFA has formally accused UEFA of orchestrating a "smear campaign" against its leadership. The allegations, revealed through documents obtained by AFP in New York, center on the ongoing friction between the two organizations regarding the governance and strategic initiatives of FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
The conflict stems from UEFA's legal efforts to access internal FIFA documentation concerning a proposal by Infantino to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. Although FIFA has since withdrawn the controversial plan following widespread criticism, the legal maneuvers by the European confederation have prompted FIFA to characterize these actions as a targeted effort to undermine the president's standing.
