Fifa has taken legal action in the United States against Uefa, accusing it of conducting a disinformation campaign aimed at influencing the 2027 presidential election. Gianni Infantino is currently the sole candidate for this election, which takes place amid tensions related to the aborted project to open Fifa to private investors.
According to RFI, this move by Fifa comes at a time when relations between the two European and global football bodies are particularly strained, notably over this controversial project.
