UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF Call for FIFA Leadership Change

UEFA, the AFC and CONCACAF have jointly called for changes in FIFA leadership and criticized FIFA President Gianni Infantino amid a crisis over the Football Forward Enterprise (FFE) project. The three confederations, in an open letter, argue that leadership should serve the football community rather than seek to control it. Signed by UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin, AFC President Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa and CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani, the letter says Infantino undermined trust and that FIFA should admit it was wrong to launch the initiative unilaterally. After senior FIFA officials met in Rabat, Infantino apologized, but the confederations say the incident cannot be treated as just a communication error and may require an independent investigation.
