Football Associations Condemn FIFA President

UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF criticized FIFA President Gianni Infantino's actions during a proposed World Cup commercial rights sale. They accuse him of deception and call for an independent review. The statement emphasizes football's unity and urges leadership working for the collective good of the sport.

In a rare unified statement, UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and CONCACAF have issued a strong rebuke of FIFA President Gianni Infantino's behavior regarding a shelved proposal for the sale of World Cup commercial rights.

The confederations accused Infantino of "breaking trust through deception" and criticized him for placing his personal interests above the collective needs of international football governance. They have demanded an independent review to investigate the circumstances around the proposal.

The statement underscores that football's greatest asset is its unity, calling for leadership that supports the game rather than dominating it.
