UEFA declares no confidence in FIFA's Infantino over World Cup sell-off plan

UEFA declared on Saturday that FIFA president Gianni Infantino had "lost" its confidence after he proposed spinning off the commercial rights to the World Cup and other competitions into a semi-private company. Infantino withdrew the plan, but the fierce backlash appears set to seriously destabilise his presidency. The move marks an unprecedented rift between European football's governing body and FIFA.
