The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is reportedly preparing to initiate disciplinary proceedings against FIFA President Gianni Infantino. This action stems from a dispute over a World Cup investor deal that has reportedly failed.

UEFA, the governing body for European football, is demanding that FIFA and the financial institutions involved in the project hand over relevant documents. This request is part of UEFA's effort to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collapsed investor deal.

The demand for documentation was formally submitted through a 60-page document filed with a district court in the U.S. state of Florida. The German Press Agency (dpa) has obtained a copy of this document, indicating the seriousness of UEFA's intentions.

The specific details of the World Cup investor deal and the reasons for its failure are not fully elaborated in the provided text, but the move by UEFA signals a significant internal conflict within the global football administration.
