Infantino Could Face UEFA Lawsuit as He Scrambles for FIFA Presidency Support The news that UEFA is considering legal action against Gianni Infantino, the embattled President of FIFA, should come as no surprise to anyone following recent developments in international football politics.
The European governing body has been at odds with Infantino over his plan to sell a stake in future World Cup profits to private investors, and it's clear that UEFA is taking a hard line against what they see as a blatant attempt to undermine the integrity of the sport.
The proposed FFE spin off would have given private investors control of FIFA's commercial and tournament operations through 2038.
