FIFA Chief Accused of Deception by Three Confederations

UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF unite in open letter demanding accountability for Infantino's failed World Cup sale plot.

What happened. UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF issued a joint statement accusing FIFA president Gianni Infantino of deception over the abandoned plan to sell World Cup commercial rights, calling for an independent review.

• Infantino broke trust through deception, placing himself above the collective.
• FIFA responded, criticizing a concerted effort to undermine the organization.
• UEFA has threatened to boycott FIFA competitions if Infantino stays.

“Football's strength has always been its unity. We call for that unity to be honored now, for leadership that serves football, not seeks to command it.”

— Joint statement by UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF

Infantino still appears to have enough support to survive a no-confidence vote and secure a fourth term in March.
