UEFA says it has 'lost confidence' in Infantino over 'shabby, back room deal'

UEFA declared it has "lost confidence" in FIFA president Gianni Infantino, accusing him of a "shabby, back room, opaque deal" over plans to bring private investment into the World Cup. Infantino scrapped the widely-criticised proposal on Saturday, but continental governing bodies continued to demand transparency and accountability. The row marks a significant public rift between UEFA and FIFA leadership.
