FIFA Accuses UEFA of Misinformation Campaign

FIFA has accused UEFA of waging a 'misinformation campaign' and attempting to influence the race for FIFA's presidency, according to a court filing.

FIFA has filed a court document accusing UEFA of a "misinformation campaign" and attempting to influence the FIFA presidential election. The world football governing body is urging a US court to reject a discovery request related to a controversial investment proposal involving the abandoned Fifa Forward Enterprise.

Last month, UEFA had asked a US federal court for permission to obtain testimony and documents for use in a planned criminal complaint against FIFA president Gianni Infantino over the abandoned plan to transfer World Cup commercial rights to FFE. FIFA denies claims of FFE undervaluation. mwafrika.life
