Gianni Infantino: Uefa sets Fifa a deadline to hand over crucial documents

Uefa has told Fifa it must release key documents relating to its governance and decision-making by a deadline of 2 November.

At the Fifa Council on Thursday, president Gianni Infantino apologised for his World Cup sell-off plan. He failed, however, to release documents relating to the proposal. Infantino has been Fifa president since 2016 and is standing for re-election for a third time.

Uefa raises “fundamental questions”

In a letter seen by journalists, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis said world football’s governing body had failed to address “a number of fundamental questions”.

“Any refusal to disclose information or documents should be justified individually, with a clear explanation of the specific grounds relied upon,” the letter added.

Eight-page document sets out concerns

Uefa also sent an eight-page document setting out a number of concerns. They range from the Fifa Forward Enterprise private investment proposal to the Fifa Peace Prize and Folarin Balogun’s suspended ban.

The FA chair has said that “nothing has changed” when it comes to Infantino.
