UEFA is escalating its conflict with FIFA President Gianni Infantino by preparing a criminal complaint in Swiss courts. The complaint centers around Infantino’s attempt to sell a stake in World Cup revenues for $4.2 billion to investors like Thrive Capital. UEFA lawyers allege the proposed price was a “fraudulently off-market price,” indicating potential financial misconduct. This move represents a significant challenge to Infantino's leadership and a serious accusation of wrongdoing. The dispute highlights tensions between European football's governing body and FIFA regarding financial transparency and governance. UEFA believes the deal undervalued the World Cup’s commercial potential and acted against the interests of its member associations. The outcome of the criminal complaint could have major implications for Infantino’s future and the reputation of FIFA.
