UEFA Demands FIFA's Infantino Answer Governance Questions

UEFA has given FIFA president Gianni Infantino until November 2 to provide key documents and answer questions regarding governance, financial decisions, and disciplinary matters, as stated in a letter signed by UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis. The letter accuses FIFA of not addressing fundamental questions and failing to provide requested information on several controversial decisions, including the collapse of the FIFA Forward Enterprise investment project, the FIFA Peace Prize awarded to Donald Trump, and the disciplinary case involving USA striker Folarin Balogun.

UEFA's concerns were heightened after Infantino's apology during a FIFA Council meeting for plans to sell part of FIFA's commercial interests, which lacked a full explanation. UEFA insists that any refusal to disclose information must be justified and that questions cannot be postponed.

If Infantino does not respond, FIFA vice-president Debbie Hewitt warned he may not be fit to hold the presidency. UEFA is particularly scrutinizing the decision to lift Balogun's suspension, which FIFA claims was made independently.
