UEFA Launches Criminal Mismanagement Complaint Against FIFA President Infantino

UEFA is escalating its conflict with FIFA President Gianni Infantino by preparing to file a criminal complaint against him in Switzerland. The European football governing body alleges "criminal mismanagement" in connection with Infantino's failed plan to sell commercial stakes in the World Cup to private investors. This move signifies a significant legal battle between the two organizations.

This legal action follows UEFA's separate applications in the United States for information related to the conception of the FIFA Forward Enterprise plan. The dispute highlights a deep rift and power struggle within international football, with UEFA publicly calling for an end to Infantino's tenure and demanding "fundamental reform" of FIFA.
