FIFA Accuses UEFA in US Court Over Election Interference
The International Football Federation (FIFA) has accused the European Union's UEFA of attempting to mislead and influence the FIFA presidential election through legal campaigns and requests for confidential documents. The dispute concerns the "FIFA Forward Enterprise" project, through which FIFA aimed to transfer the commercial rights of the World Cup. UEFA secretly accused Infantino of working on the project without consulting the relevant authorities, while FIFA responded that the project was planned according to official procedures. The disagreement also escalated into a battle over documents that could reveal details about how the project was developed, with mutual accusations regarding the valuation of the commercial rights, which amount to approximately $20 billion. FIFA affirmed that the total value of the company exceeds $30 billion. The conflict appears aimed at influencing the FIFA presidential election scheduled for March 2024, amid claims from FIFA that UEFA is spreading misleading information in an attempt to sway the election results.
