UEFA Escalates Pressure on FIFA President Gianni Infantino Amid World Cup Commercial Plan Fallout

UEFA members are reportedly preparing to oppose the re-election of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, with European countries planning a mass withdrawal of letters supporting his candidacy. This escalation follows the collapse of Infantino's privately backed scheme to sell off portions of the World Cup's commercial rights, which drew widespread opposition and threats of boycotts from UEFA and other confederations. UEFA has also issued a formal legal warning to Infantino, demanding the preservation of all documents related to the abandoned commercial plan and confirming it is actively considering legal action.
