UEFA has escalated its ongoing conflict with FIFA by sending an urgent letter demanding formal responses to 42 detailed questions concerning Gianni Infantino’s presidency and the governance of world football. According to reports in the English press, the European governing body submitted the inquiry to address several administrative issues.
The questions submitted by UEFA span a wide range of topics, including the handling of the Balogun case and plans for a half-time show during the World Cup. Tension between the two organizations intensified after Infantino proposed creating a private equity entity to sell shares to outside investors for managing the World Cup. Although the FIFA president has since backed away from the private capital plan, UEFA continues to press for clarity regarding global football leadership.
