UEFA does not abandon Gianni Infantino, continuing the open war against the FIFA president. Recently, UEFA has found total support from two other confederations, from Asia and Central America, issuing a joint public statement: "The strength of football has always been unity, we ask that this unity be respected with a leadership that is at the service of football and not that tries to dominate it . "
In this open letter, the three confederations demand that the governance of football be at the service of the sport and not focused on an individual or institution. The criticism is particularly related to the recent, now withdrawn, plan to privatize the World Cup. According to them, the initiative was advanced without sufficient consultation with the federations and undermined trust within the football family.
The three confederations demand an independent investigation into this process and emphasize the need for more transparency, integrity and accountability in the management of FIFA: "Football does not belong to an individual, but to players, fans, clubs and federations ," this joint statement says.
