UEFA withdraws support for Infantino as potential FIFA challengers emerge

  • UEFA said it had lost confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino after the proposed private-investment vehicle was withdrawn.
  • Carlos Cordeiro resigned as Infantino’s senior adviser over the plan, while FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour made allegations that Infantino deceived employees.
