UEFA has publicly called for an end to Gianni Infantino's presidency of FIFA, demanding "fundamental reform" of the global football governing body. The statement, issued after a meeting in Monaco, signals a significant escalation in tensions between UEFA and FIFA.
This move by UEFA underscores a deep dissatisfaction with FIFA's current leadership and direction. The call for "fundamental reform" suggests that UEFA believes systemic changes are necessary within FIFA's governance and operational structures, beyond just a change in leadership.
