FIFA Accuses UEFA of 'Misinformation' Campaign in Bid for World Cup Papers
FIFA says UEFA’s filing contains false claims as the two bodies battle over access to evidence on the shelved World Cup stake plan.
- On Monday, FIFA urged a U.S. court to reject UEFA's discovery request, claiming the filing contained "numerous false or misleading statements about FIFA and Infantino" regarding the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise plan.
- UEFA filed legal papers last month in the Southern District of Florida, alleging FIFA President Gianni Infantino developed the FFE proposal in secret with a small group, bypassing normal governance processes.
- Disputing valuations, UEFA alleged investors would have paid $4.2 billion for an FFE stake, valuing the business at about $20 billion, while FIFA claims the total enterprise value is well over $30 billion.
- Accusing UEFA of waging a "misinformation campaign" to influence the upcoming presidential election, FIFA argued the court should reject any attempt to sway the race.
- Facing mounting pressure ahead of the March 2027 election, Infantino wrote to 211 member associations last week proposing an independent review of FIFA's decision-making processes.
