UEFA president Ceferin says he won’t run against FIFA president but calls for Infantino to quit
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has indicated he will not run against FIFA President Gianni Infantino, but called for Infantino to either resign or face a leadership challenge in March. Infantino has faced mounting pressure over his plan to sell stakes in FIFA's biggest tournament, the World Cup, to private equity investors. Three soccer confederations have accused Infantino of "deception," while UEFA threatened a boycott of FIFA events.
Ceferin stated on a British podcast that Infantino may face opposition if he decides to run in the upcoming March elections. Ceferin expressed his own disinterest in the presidency, citing a desire to enjoy life and maintain his credibility. FIFA's leadership change deadline is set for November 18.
