FIFA asks U.S. court to reject UEFA request for evidence in Swiss criminal complaint against Gianni Infantino

On September 28, 2026, FIFA responded in a U.S. federal court to UEFA's request for evidence related to a planned criminal complaint in Switzerland against FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The complaint concerns a now-abandoned plan to transfer World Cup commercial rights to a subsidiary called FIFA Forward Enterprise. FIFA accused UEFA of spreading misinformation and attempting to influence the upcoming presidential election. FIFA argued that the proposal was subject to proper oversight and that UEFA's valuation claims were misleading. The FFE project was abandoned in July after opposition from confederations.
