UEFA, CONCACAF and AFC accuse FIFA of ‘deception’ and ‘breach of trust’ over World Cup plans
Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported38m ago
UEFA, CONCACAF, and the AFC have issued a joint open letter accusing FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, of "deception" and a "fundamental breach of trust." The controversy centers on Infantino's recent, short-lived plan to sell a financial interest in the World Cup, which was launched and subsequently withdrawn within days.
The three confederations strongly criticized the move, declaring in their letter that football "belongs to no individual." The joint action marks a significant escalation of tensions between world soccer's governing body and its regional confederations over the management and future of the sport's premier tournament.
