Shafaqna English– A legal battle between FIFA and UEFA has escalated, with FIFA accusing UEFA of a smear campaign targeting its president Gianni Infantino, following a dispute over a failed plan to sell FIFA commercial rights.
According to court documents obtained by Reuters, FIFA leveled the accusations after UEFA filed an emergency motion in a U.S. court last week to secure testimony and documents from U.S.-based parties for possible Swiss criminal proceedings. The move marks a deepening rift between football’s top governing bodies.
