  "summary": "UEFA has formally notified FIFA president Gianni Infantino that it is considering legal action, arbitration, and regulatory complaints over the organization's planned sale of commercial rights. FIFA announced its intention to raise $4.2 billion by selling approximately 20% of the shares of a new entity handling the organization's media and commercial rights, including those for the World Cup. UEFAs announcement came after Infantino announced the abandonment of the plan, which would have increased his annual salary from €3 million to €30 million. UEFAs letter to FIFA requires immediate identification and preservation of all documents and electronically stored information related to the plan.",
