  "account": "Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin cautioned Gianni Infantino to remember he is European following Infantino's proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup, describing it as \"worse than the Super League.\" The proposal, known as Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE), was abandoned by the world governing body earlier this month. Ceferin expressed his disbelief in the plan, stating that \"super important clubs wanted to do their own league, which is wrong, and would destroy football.\" He also criticized the idea of literally selling the sport that belongs to everyone, emphasizing Uefa's firm stance against such actions. Ceferin confirmed he would not run for the Fifa presidency at the upcoming congress when Infantino aims to secure his fourth term.",
