FIFA Accuses UEFA of 'Misinformation' Campaign in Bid for World Cup Papers
FIFA said UEFA’s court bid relies on false claims and seeks documents tied to a $20 billion valuation dispute over the shelved plan.
- On Monday, FIFA urged a U.S. court to reject UEFA's discovery request, claiming the filing contained "numerous false or misleading statements about FIFA and Infantino" regarding the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise plan.
- UEFA filed legal papers last month in the Southern District of Florida, alleging FIFA President Gianni Infantino developed the FFE proposal in secret with a small group, bypassing normal governance processes.
- Disputing valuations, UEFA alleged investors would have paid $4.2 billion for an FFE stake, valuing the business at about $20 billion, while FIFA claims the total enterprise value is well over $30 billion.
- Accusing UEFA of waging a "misinformation campaign" to influence the upcoming presidential election, FIFA argued the court should reject any attempt to sway the race.
- Facing mounting pressure ahead of the March 2027 election, Infantino wrote to 211 member associations last week proposing an independent review of FIFA's decision-making processes.
