Uefa gives Infantino two-week deadline to release key documents
European governing body Uefa tells Fifa it must release key documents related to its governance and decision-making by 2 November.
The international football federation Fifa has been given a two-week deadline by the European governing body Uefa to release key documents and answer questions about its governance and decision-making. At a recent Fifa Council meeting, president Gianni Infantino apologized for a proposed World Cup sell-off plan, but did not provide a full explanation of how it was developed.
Uefa's general secretary, Theodore Theodoridis, highlighted that the organization had not addressed fundamental questions and that additional information and documentation was still lacking. The letter from Uefa included eight pages of inquiries, covering topics such as the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) private investment, the Fifa Peace Prize, and controversial decisions like the suspended ban on USA striker Folarin Balogun at the World Cup.
Infantino has faced intense scrutiny over Balogun's case, which involved an initial suspension that was later lifted after US President Donald Trump intervened. Uefa has requested specific information about the Balogun case, including the sequence of communications and the reasons for the decision.
