UEFA Demands FIFA Release Documents on World Cup Sell-Off and Trump Dealings

UEFA has issued a two-week ultimatum to FIFA, demanding the release of key documents related to Gianni Infantino's controversial World Cup commercial rights sell-off plan. The European football governing body also seeks answers on other governance issues, including alleged conflicts of interest concerning dealings with the Trump family and the fallout from Folarin Balogun's World Cup red card.

In a letter addressed to FIFA's general secretary, UEFA's counterpart has posed over 50 questions, highlighting concerns about FIFA's handling of various matters over the past year. This move signifies a continued critique of FIFA's leadership and operations, with UEFA pushing for greater transparency and an independent governance review. Meanwhile, Football Australia's chair has downplayed recent controversies as "growing pains" for the world governing body.
