Čeferin Forces Infantino’s Exit or Election | MLS News

UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin is forcing FIFA’s Gianni Infantino into a high-stakes choice: step down or face a likely defeat in March’s election, as Čeferin and UEFA rally global football to reject Infantino’s controversial World Cup investment plan. The fallout from Infantino’s $20 billion stake sale has ignited outrage, prompting UEFA to boycott FIFA events and explore a rival tournament. Though Čeferin won’t run for FIFA, he’s confident a challenger — possibly from Concacaf or Norway — will emerge before the November 18 deadline. Gibraltar has pulled support, citing transparency concerns, while Eto’o defends Infantino, calling the criticism politically timed. The future of global football hangs in the balance.
