UEFA Prepares Criminal Mismanagement Complaint Against FIFA President Infantino

UEFA is intensifying its dispute with FIFA President Gianni Infantino by preparing to file a criminal complaint against him in Switzerland. The European football governing body alleges "criminal mismanagement" concerning Infantino's unsuccessful proposal to sell commercial stakes in the World Cup to private investors. This action marks a significant escalation in the legal conflict between the two organizations.

The legal move by UEFA follows its prior requests in the United States for information pertaining to the development of the FIFA Forward Enterprise plan. The ongoing disagreement underscores a profound division and power struggle within international football, with UEFA publicly advocating for Infantino's departure and calling for substantial reforms within FIFA.
