UEFA, AFC, CONCACAF hit out at Infantino over World Cup privatisation plan
[]
Ghanaian Times
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has come under renewed fire as a joint letter from three confederations UEFA, CONCACAF and AFC declared that football “belongs to no individual”.
Infantino has received scathing criticism ever since launching, and then withdrawing within days, a plan to bring in private investment into FIFA competitions, including the World Cup.
FIFA had hit back on Saturday, claiming “a concerted and ongoing effort by some to undermine” football’s governing body and Infantino.
However, Monday’s letter from the governing bodies of European football (UEFA), North and Central America (CONCACAF) and Asia (AFC), showed his critics were unbowed.
FIFA also echoed the statements of several of the bodies that supported Infantino, as well as one from South American confederation CONMEBOL.
