UEFA, CONCACAF and AFC have sent a joint letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressing criticism of his leadership, according to the letter's contents. The three confederations, representing European, North/Central American and Caribbean, and Asian football federations, raised concerns in writing over several decisions taken during Infantino's tenure.
The letter adds to ongoing friction between FIFA and the three confederations, which has intensified in recent years over administrative decisions and policy processes. The three bodies, which together represent a large share of FIFA's member associations, used the joint format to convey their unease collectively rather than through separate statements.
It remained unclear how the FIFA leadership intends to respond to the letter. The confederations' coordinated move signals a further escalation in governance disputes within world football, though no specific measures or next steps were detailed in the initial reports. No further information was immediately available.
