UEFA, AFC, CONCACAF renew attacks on Infantino over failed stake sale

Three of FIFA’s six confederations issued an open letter to the “football family” on Monday attacking President Gianni Infantino’s conduct during the proposed sale of a stake in World Cup commercial rights and calling for leadership that works for the game.

Soccer, Canada Soccer, which co-hosted the 2026 World Cup with Mexico, joined with the Caribbean Football Union and the Central American Football Union to back the stance, saying FIFA needed “meaningful” change.“There remains no recognition that attempting to sell an interest in the FIFA World Cup was a profound failure of judgment — not just a procedural misstep, but a fundamental breach of trust with the very institutions FIFA exists to serve.”
