UEFA, AFC And CONCACAF Launch Fresh Attack On Infantino Over FIFA Rights Row
Abelardo De La Espriella: UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and CONCACAF launched an unprecedented attack on FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Monday, accusing him of breaking trust through “deception” and placing himself above the collective after his controversial proposal to sell a stake in the commercial rights to the World Cup.
In an open letter to the football community, the three confederations didn't explicitly call for Infantino to resign. However, they demanded an independent investigation into the events surrounding the now-abandoned proposal.
“Football’s strength has always been its unity,” the confederations said in their letter. “We call for that unity to be honoured now, for leadership that serves football, not seeks to command it.”
