UEFA loses trust in FIFA President Infantino

UEFA has declared a loss of confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino, despite welcoming his decision to drop plans for selling stakes in FIFA tournaments to private investors. The European football governing body stated that while the proposal's withdrawal is a victory for global football, it marks only the beginning of rebuilding trust in FIFA.

UEFA expressed that Infantino has not upheld the transparency he promised during his election campaign. The organization highlighted concerns about the "secret plans pushed through at express speed, developed by anonymous individuals and with highly questionable benefit to the sport." UEFA insists that those responsible must be identified and held accountable.

"This is a victory for the entire football world. But it must not be the end of the story. The proposal is gone. The task of rebuilding trust in FIFA has only just begun," UEFA said in a statement on its website. The sentiment reflects a deep-seated concern within UEFA regarding FIFA's governance and decision-making processes under Infantino's leadership.
