UEFA says FIFA must answer 42 questions about governance and conflicts of interest, including the abandoned World Cup investment plan, by Nov. 2.
- UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis sent an eight-page letter to FIFA on October 19 demanding responses to 42 questions by November 2, citing concerns over governance and institutional accountability.
- Alleged 'conflicts of interest' involving FIFA President Gianni Infantino prompted the inquiry, specifically regarding the aborted $4.2 billion FIFA Forward Enterprise plan and undisclosed business dealings with Donald Trump and associates.
- UEFA demands explanations for a $4 million Trump Tower office lease UEFA claims remains largely unused, creation of a FIFA Peace Prize for Trump without council approval, and the overturned red-card suspension of USA forward Folarin Balogun.
- With the November 2 deadline falling 16 days before the March 18 FIFA presidential election nomination cutoff, UEFA stressed that answers cannot wait, forcing member associations to evaluate FIFA's conduct before endorsing candidates.
- English Football Association president Debbie Hewitt, a FIFA vice-president, stated: "If he does not answer these questions, he is not fit to be FIFA president," intensifying the internal power struggle.
