European soccer’s governing body warns FIFA not to destroy evidence related to Infantino’s private investment proposal
The Union of European Football Associations, UEFA, has threatened FIFA with legal action over President Gianni Infantino’s failed plan to sell a stake in future World Cup profits to private investors.
UEFA said it is considering legal steps and urged FIFA to preserve any documents or materials related to the proposal, warning that potential evidence should not be destroyed.
The dispute centers on Infantino’s reported attempt to bring in private investment tied to future World Cup revenues. The plan did not go ahead, but UEFA says it raises serious governance and financial questions.
UEFA has asked FIFA to retain all records, communications, and evidence connected to the proposal as it weighs its next move.
FIFA has not yet issued a detailed public response to UEFA’s threat.
The clash highlights growing tensions between FIFA and its European member associations over commercial strategy, governance, and control of major tournament revenues.
