War escalates as UEFA and Al-Khelaifi strengthen hold on Infantino
The conflicts between the European Football Union (UEFA) and FIFA President Gianni Infantino are escalating, especially after the failure of the privatization project for FIFA tournaments' rights. UEFA has asked Infantino to resign and has threatened to vote on his ousting. UEFA is planning to build an European coalition consisting of clubs and national associations to counter FIFA. UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin has also held a meeting with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, President of the European Club Association, to discuss their respective positions regarding the international football giant. Additionally, the European Union opposes expanding the FIFA Club World Cup to 48 teams, citing increased fixture congestion and disruption of match schedules. There is growing discontent over clubs not receiving financial compensation and over Infantino's project to revamp club rights without prior approval. Opposition within the European Union is also increasing, with only four associations having publicly supported Infantino's re-election, while clubs and associations are increasingly aligning themselves to oppose FIFA's policies.
