Fifa accuses Uefa of 'smear campaign' against Gianni Infantino

Fifa has accused Uefa of a smear campaign against its president Gianni Infantino in response to allegations of criminal mismanagement regarding the scrapped plan to sell stakes in the World Cup. Uefa filed legal papers in the US requesting disclosure of evidence as part of potential criminal claims in Switzerland. Fifa challenged this request, claiming it suffers from fundamental legal deficiencies and that Uefa aims to prevent the development of soccer in developing countries.
