FIFA Accuses UEFA of Misinformation Against Infantino

FIFA has accused UEFA of waging a 'misinformation campaign' and trying to influence the race for FIFA's presidency as the governing body seeks to block a US court discovery request.

FIFA urged a US court to reject a discovery request related to a controversial investment proposal called FIFA Forward Enterprise. The request was made by UEFA for use in a planned criminal complaint against FIFA president Gianni Infantino in Switzerland.

Last month, UEFA asked a US federal court for permission to obtain testimony and documents regarding the abandoned plan to transfer World Cup commercial rights to a subsidiary. FIFA's court filing denied claims of undervaluation of the subsidiary. rouesnews.click
