UEFA Chief Sees No Value in Infantino's Concessions: 'He Is an Emperor Without Clothes'
UEFA President Aleksandr Ceferin rejected FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s proposed concessions, comparing the situation to Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale about an emperor with no clothes. Ceferin stated that Infantino’s plan to sell World Cup shares to private investors, which was withdrawn after global criticism, remains insufficient to regain UEFA’s support. During a meeting of European football clubs in Copenhagen on Tuesday, Ceferin criticized Infantino and referenced Donald Trump receiving the FIFA Peace Prize, suggesting political influence over rules. In response, FIFA accused UEFA of running a disinformation campaign and filed a motion in US court to deny UEFA’s request for documents related to the controversial World Cup plan. FIFA dismissed claims that Infantino violated laws or ethical principles as entirely unfounded.
