UEFA, Gianni Infantino and FIFA
Saturday
UEFA said it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino’s FIFA leadership after the governing body abandoned its private-investment proposal. European officials welcomed the withdrawal but accused Infantino of failing on transparency, governance and responsible use of FIFA’s reserves.
UEFA called for those behind the plan to be identified and held accountable, while supporting a fundamental leadership and governance review. It will work with other confederations on safeguards and alternative ways to distribute FIFA development funding.
