UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF have jointly criticized FIFA President Gianni Infantino over his proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup's commercial rights, calling it a breach of trust and accusing him of acting above the collective. The confederations demanded a fully independent review of the episode, rejecting FIFA's internal investigation and emphasizing the need for leadership that serves football's unity. The controversy has intensified scrutiny of Infantino's governance and raised concerns about transparency in FIFA's decision-making.
