Premier League in joint call for FIFA reform amid Infantino crisis
UEFA is seeking disclosure of documents tied to the plan as it weighs a possible Swiss criminal complaint over the commercial vehicle’s $20 billion valuation.
- On Thursday, FIFA President Gianni Infantino pledged a new culture of openness, offering an independent review of how the organization runs and makes decisions following governance criticism.
- This shift follows a deep rift caused by Infantino's now-dropped $4.2 billion World Cup sell-off plan, which provoked the soccer body's biggest crisis since 2015 anti-corruption arrests that led to trials in New York.
- Opposition to Infantino's leadership style, which critics describe as an "executive one-man leadership" approach, has been led by European football leader Aleksander Ceferin, North America's Victor Montagliani, and Asia's Sheikh Salman.
- Infantino will chair an October 15 meeting of the 37-member FIFA Council, where members will be asked to approve consultation on strengthening the organization's decision-making processes.
- Ahead of a March 18 vote in Morocco, Infantino faces an election challenge while insisting he remains committed to listening to soccer officials and growing the game globally.
