UEFA, CONCACAF and AFC accuse FIFA of ‘deception’ and ‘breach of trust’ over World Cup plans

UEFA, CONCACAF and AFC express dismay at FIFA's proposed World Cup sale

Three leading international soccer organizations - UEFA, CONCACAF and AFC - have accused FIFA president Gianni Infantino of "deception" and "breach of trust" over the federation's plans to sell an interest in the World Cup. In an open letter addressed to the global football community, the three institutions declared that such actions "fundamentally breach trust" with their respective regions, serving as the governing bodies for soccer in Europe, North, Central America and the Caribbean, and Asia respectively.

FIFA's proposed deal involves a one-year subscription of $205.00 plus GST, with automatic renewal at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. The offer is available to new and qualified returning subscribers, with the option to cancel at any time. The institutions' statement reveals deep concerns over the transparency and integrity of FIFA's decision-making process.
