FIFA has accused UEFA of conducting a 'smear campaign' and a 'fishing expedition' after UEFA asked US judges to compel FIFA to release documents related to its abandoned plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to investors. The plan, unveiled in July, faced widespread backlash, including threats from UEFA to boycott the World Cup. FIFA aborted the plan, but UEFA is now preparing possible legal action against FIFA president Gianni Infantino for alleged 'criminal mismanagement.' UEFA has filed requests in three US states for document disclosure, and if successful, intends to lodge a legal complaint in Switzerland.
