Uefa has launched a legal complaint against Fifa President Gianni Infantino, alleging criminal mismanagement related to a failed World Cup sell-off plan. This move follows Uefa's recent decision to allow European teams to participate in upcoming women's World Cup qualifiers, indicating a strategic shift in their approach to challenge Infantino's leadership.
The legal process includes seeking disclosure of documents in the U.S. regarding the controversial Fifa Forward Enterprise proposal, which Uefa claims was undervalued. Uefa aims to rally support among Fifa members ahead of the presidential election in March, although there are concerns about gaining traction outside Europe against Infantino's presidency.
