UEFA writes to FIFA demanding answers on Trump-Infantino dealings
UEFA says FIFA must answer 42 questions on Gianni Infantino’s alleged conflicts of interest and publish key governance documents by Nov. 2.
- UEFA has set a Nov. 2 deadline for FIFA to release key governance documents relating to Gianni Infantino's abandoned $4.2 billion World Cup sell-off plan and other decision-making issues.
- This ultimatum follows a FIFA Council meeting last week where European delegates expressed dissatisfaction after Infantino apologized for the proposal but failed to provide requested documentation.
- UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis submitted 42 questions covering Infantino's remuneration, payments to Marc Anthony, and business relationships with Donald Trump, though FIFA lawyers have claimed UEFA is harassing Infantino.
- Responses must arrive before the Nov. 2 deadline, which falls 16 days before the nomination deadline for the FIFA presidential election, giving federations time to assess leadership.
- Theodore Theodoridis emphasized that future governance reforms cannot substitute for scrutiny of past decisions, asserting that federations need answers now to assess FIFA leadership before nominations close.
