FIFA accuses UEFA of misinformation campaign

FIFA has accused UEFA of waging a 'misinformation campaign' and attempting to influence the FIFA presidential election in a court filing.

FIFA urged a US court to reject a discovery request from UEFA related to an abandoned investment proposal. The request sought testimony and documents for a planned criminal complaint in Switzerland against FIFA president Gianni Infantino.

The dispute centers on a controversial plan to transfer World Cup commercial rights into a subsidiary called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), which was abandoned last month. FIFA denies UEFA's claim of undervaluation in the proposal. catcrossgame.com
