UEFA, CONCACAF, AFC Slam Infantino Over FIFA Trust Breach

UEFA, CONCACAF, and AFC issued a joint letter condemning FIFA President Gianni Infantino for what they termed a "fundamental breach of trust" related to his unsuccessful plans to sell stakes in the World Cup. The letter, released on Monday, criticized Infantino's actions as a "profound failure of judgment" rather than a mere procedural error.

The three associations had previously rejected Infantino's plans before they were ultimately scrapped. They also expressed discontent with a recent FIFA management committee meeting held in Morocco, which concluded with a statement supporting Infantino, instead of addressing broader leadership issues within FIFA.

The letter emphasized the need for accountability and openness, stating, "It is not the conduct of a custodian of the game, but of one who believes the game is answerable to him." Additionally, US Soccer and Canada Soccer joined in calling for meaningful changes to enhance FIFA's governance and transparency.
