FIFA Accuses UEFA of Misinformation Against Infantino

FIFA has accused UEFA of conducting a 'misinformation campaign' and attempting to influence the FIFA presidential election, according to a court filing.

FIFA urged a US court to reject a discovery request related to a controversial investment proposal, claiming UEFA is trying to influence the race for FIFA's presidency. The world football governing body denied claims of FFE undervaluation in its court response.

Last month, UEFA had asked a US federal court for permission to obtain testimony and documents for use in a planned criminal complaint in Switzerland against FIFA president Gianni Infantino, concerning an abandoned plan to transfer World Cup commercial rights into a subsidiary called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE). forestarrow.rest
