UEFA urges FIFA's Infantino to resign, threatens no-confidence vote

UEFA has called on FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign, according to the British newspaper The Telegraph. The demand follows a dispute over a FIFA proposal that would have offered private investors a stake in certain FIFA tournaments, the Telegraph reported. FIFA later withdrew the proposal, but UEFA told FIFA's leadership that it had lost confidence in them, the report said. UEFA's member federations could back efforts to remove Infantino from office if he refuses to step down, according to the Telegraph. The proposed sale of equity in FIFA competitions had fueled tensions between the two organizations, which jointly govern world football. FIFA did not immediately respond to the reported resignation demand. No further details were immediately available on the timeline of any no-confidence move or on Infantino's response to the resignation request.
