> CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani has asked FIFA chief Gianni Infantino to reconsider attending a Caribbean Football Union U-14 tournament in the Dominican Republic, saying media attention over opposition to his leadership would overshadow the youth event. UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF are pressuring Infantino to resign after his abandoned proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup.
