UEFA, Europe’s governing football body, filed a lawsuit in New York seeking information about FIFA’s plan to monetize the World Cup that could be used in a possible criminal proceeding in Switzerland
UEFA has asked a US federal court for permission to obtain testimony and documents from FIFA entities in Florida for use in a planned criminal complaint in Switzerland against FIFA President Gianni Infantino, according to a court filing
UEFA piles pressure on Gianni Infantino with expanded Nations League talks
The talks could lead to an expansion of the Nations League as early as the 2028-29 edition, sources have indicated.
UEFA has told Sky News the "conditions have not been met" to lift its boycott of the World Cup and there is still a lack of confidence in Gianni Infantino - despite his apology.
Sky's @RobHarris reports
UEFA tells Infantino: resign or we will vote to oust you.
FIFA's own internal power systems have just watched Infantino burn the CONMEBOL gambit and found out it was toothless. he did something so egregious that UEFA had to take the doomsday option.
And it turned out, FIFA needs UEFA far more than a new organisation by UEFA needs CONMEBOL.
So the entire gambit of giving CONMEBOL all those free entry slots to the world cup in return for unwavering support for FIFA has failed.
That means FIFA are fucked and CONMEBOL are fucked. It also means Infantino will be booted by the FIFA powerbrokers themselves irregardless of UEFA.
Wouldn't shock me if they find an even more despicable candidate to replace him though.
