UEFA, Concacaf, and the Asian Football Confederation have publicly criticized FIFA for what they describe as a significant breach of trust regarding plans to sell a stake in the World Cup. In an open letter, they expressed concerns about the integrity of FIFA's leadership and called for an independent review of the situation.
The confederations have indicated they may explore organizing their own competitions in response to the backlash against FIFA President Gianni Infantino. They aim to ensure that players have opportunities to compete meaningfully while also giving Infantino a chance to resign gracefully before the upcoming elections.
