UEFA said that FIFA president Gianni Infantino had lost its confidence after his proposal to spin off the commercial rights to the World Cup and other competitions into a semi-private company. Infantino had already abandoned the proposal. Even so, the furious reaction it provoked appeared capable of putting his presidency under serious pressure. The dispute has intensified tensions between European football’s governing body and FIFA’s leadership.
