FIFA claims 'concerted' campaign to undermine Infantino as scandal deepens

FIFA has issued a statement alleging a "concerted" effort to undermine president Gianni Infantino, as the crisis surrounding him deepens. The scandal involves claims that UEFA paid off an alleged lover of Infantino while he served as the body's general secretary — allegations he denies. FIFA is now striking back at those behind the reports rather than addressing the substance of the allegations.
