Uefa has 'lost confidence' in Fifa leadership
Uefa stated it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino's Fifa leadership as the fallout from a scrapped controversial investment plan intensified. On Saturday, Infantino said Fifa would no longer proceed with the proposal to sell stakes in the governing body's competitions to private investors. Uefa had earlier voted to boycott World Cups if the plans went ahead.
In a lengthy statement on Saturday, Uefa welcomed the decision to withdraw the plan, describing it as "a victory for the whole game." Uefa accused Infantino of failing to deliver on promises he made when campaigning to become Fifa president in 2016. He stated then: "Of course we have to be transparent," and "The money of Fifa is your money. It's not the money of the Fifa president. You are the national associations and the money of Fifa has to serve for the development of football and not for anything else." Other governing bodies and two major confederations also voiced opposition to the plans.
