UEFA president Ceferin says he won't run against FIFA president but calls for Infantino to quit

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has ruled out running against Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency, but warned the head of world soccer that he must either resign or face a leadership challenge in March. Ceferin issued the ultimatum from London, stating that Infantino must quit or confront an opponent in the upcoming election.

Infantino has faced mounting pressure to step down amid growing discontent over his leadership. The ultimatum from the European soccer chief introduces the prospect of a contested election at the March ballot if the incumbent refuses to vacate the position.
