UEFA to hold expanded Nations League talks
The talks could expand the competition as early as 2028-29, with no extra calendar space needed, sources said.
- UEFA is holding discussions with CONCACAF, the confederation representing North and Central America and the Caribbean, regarding an expanded Nations League that could launch as early as the 2028-29 edition.
- These discussions signal growing cooperation between UEFA and CONCACAF to the exclusion of FIFA. Presidents Aleksander Ceferin and Victor Montagliani reportedly believe FIFA president Gianni Infantino should resign amid controversy over his failed World Cup investor plans.
- The expanded tournament would not occupy additional international calendar space, with league phases running in autumn 2028 and finals scheduled for March and June of the following year. The Asian Football Confederation is also involved, potentially joining later.
- FIFA president Gianni Infantino faces criticism this week following the dismissal of Chief Operating Officer Kevin Lamour, who accused the FIFA boss of "deceiving" staff regarding World Cup plans. Infantino is expected to attend a youth football event in the Dominican Republic this weekend.
- The Dominican Republic event could bring Infantino face-to-face with CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani, whom observers view as a potential challenger for the FIFA presidency amid the ongoing investor controversy.
