UEFA intends to seek criminal prosecution of Infantino over World Cup rights deal

The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) wants to initiate a criminal case against the president of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, for attempting to sell the rights to host the World Cup to private investors.

This was reported by journalist Rob Harris on the social network X.

It is noted that UEFA has lost confidence in the current head of FIFA. Instead of him, they want to bring another candidate to power at the organization's presidential election, which will take place in March 2027.
