Plot to ‘paralyse’ Gianni Infantino: FIFA president’s opponents ‘form alliance to stage their own international tournaments if he refuses to step down’ after World Cup sell-off disgrace

The leaders of UEFA, CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have reportedly formed an alliance aimed at toppling Gianni Infantino. 

The FIFA president is under huge pressure after he was forced to abandon a hugely controversial proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to a group led by Josh Kushner, the brother of Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared, following a major revolt from the footballing world.

UEFA subsequently declared a loss of confidence in the Italian-Swiss administrator, while the English and Welsh FA are among several countries to withdraw their support for his re-election in next March’s elections. 

This has left Infantino
