UEFA Demands FIFA Documents on Infantino's World Cup Plan as Re-Election Campaign AdvancesPreviousNext

UEFA has set a November 2 deadline for FIFA to release documents related to FIFA President Gianni Infantino's abandoned $4.2 billion World Cup investment plan and other governance concerns. UEFA demands answers on financial dealings, disciplinary cases, and committee independence, citing insufficient explanations from Infantino. Meanwhile, Infantino is campaigning for re-election, seeking support from Asian football leaders amid mixed reactions to his plan. He has apologized for mistakes and proposed an independent review of FIFA's decision-making processes ahead of the March election.
