UEFA, CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation have jointly rebuked FIFA president Gianni Infantino, declaring that football “belongs to no individual”, NDTV Sports reports. The letter comes as Infantino faces renewed criticism over FIFA’s direction. La Liga president Javier Tebas has separately told Le Monde that the “Infantino era” is over. He accused FIFA’s leadership of weakening domestic leagues and said the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise project pointed to deeper problems in the organisation. Tebas called for new governance, warning that changing leaders alone may allow the old system to survive. FIFA’s approach and the balance between its global role and domestic competitions remain at the centre of the dispute.
