UEFA Threatens FIFA With Legal Action Over Investment Plan
UEFA raises the possibility of legal proceedings against FIFA following the latter's abandoned proposal to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors.
On August 3, 2026, UEFA threatened FIFA with legal action in response to FIFA President Gianni Infantino's now-scrapped plan to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors. UEFA's objection centers on concerns about the proposed investment plan's impact on the governance and control of FIFA tournaments.
