FIFA rivals unite to build new world football framework

Three confederations are drafting a new system to replace FIFA's 'patronage' governance.

What happened. Uefa, Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation are working together on a new framework to run world football, replacing what they see as FIFA's system of patronage under Gianni Infantino.

• Calls for independent review of FIFA governance have been ignored.
• Plan to sell 21% of World Cup made public a fortnight ago.
• Rebels have taken matters into their own hands.

The new framework could challenge FIFA's structure ahead of the World Cup sale.
