UEFA is preparing a criminal complaint against FIFA President Gianni Infantino, alleging "criminal mismanagement" over a now-abandoned proposal to introduce private investment into the World Cup. The controversial plan was scrapped earlier this month following a furious backlash from football stakeholders.
The impending legal action marks a significant escalation in tensions between European football's governing body and the leadership of world football's governing organization, stemming from financial and structural plans regarding the sport's marquee tournament.
