FIFA vs UEFA Over World Cup Sale | Jamaica News

FIFA and UEFA are locked in a fiery legal and public battle over FIFA’s controversial plan to sell stakes in the World Cup, with UEFA accusing FIFA president Gianni Infantino of trying to cash in on global soccer’s biggest assets — while FIFA counters that UEFA is running a smear campaign and even threatening criminal charges against Infantino. The drama erupted after UEFA sought documents from Josh Kushner’s Thrive Capital, which was exploring a $4.2 billion deal — a proposal FIFA killed within days. Kushner admitted they underestimated the political fallout and wouldn’t have pursued it if they’d known how messy it would become. Now, UEFA is preparing to file a criminal complaint in Switzerland, while FIFA accuses UEFA of pressuring European federations to oppose Infantino — turning what started as a business move into a full-blown global soccer showdown.
