NewzFIFA has formally accused UEFA of conducting a misinformation campaign intended to influence the outcome of its upcoming presidential election. The governing body issued a statement on Tuesday rejecting allegations that FIFA president Gianni Infantino has breached any legal or ethical standards, labeling such claims as categorically without merit.
The accusations surfaced as FIFA petitioned a U.S. court to dismiss a pending request related to the matter. By publicly challenging UEFA’s narrative, FIFA is attempting to defend the integrity of its leadership ahead of the presidential race, framing the external criticism as a coordinated effort to undermine the current administration.
