In a joint open letter, UEFA, CONCACAF, and the AFC have accused FIFA President Gianni Infantino of a 'fundamental breach of trust' due to his proposed sale of an interest in the World Cup to private equity investors. The three federations, representing Europe, North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and Asia, expressed their concerns on Monday, stating that such deception and self-interest are not suitable for football leadership. The letter was signed by Aleksander Čeferin, Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa, Victor Montagliani, and three general secretaries. The federations asserted that the World Cup belongs to all stakeholders in football, not an individual or institution, and urged unity in response to Infantino's actions. Despite FIFA's apology for its failed plan, the letter criticized the lack of involvement from elected officials and member associations in the leadership meeting held in Morocco. The federations also called for more than just an acknowledgment of mistakes, demanding recognition that attempting to sell an interest in the World Cup was a breach of trust. In response, FIFA defended Infantino against what it called a 'concerted effort' to undermine his leadership, following reports of an exit package paid to a female staffer during his time at UEFA.
