UEFA is awaiting responses from FIFA regarding questions posed to President Gianni Infantino before a looming deadline. General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote to FIFA counterpart Mattias Grafstrom on Oct. 19, outlining 42 areas of concern. Key issues include Infantino's abandoned plan for private investment in World Cup commercial affairs, the Folarin Balogun disciplinary case, and potential conflicts of interest.
Responses were due by Nov. 2. As of Monday midday Central European Time, FIFA had not provided the requested answers. Council members previously questioned Infantino at an Oct. 15 meeting.
UEFA has pledged to identify a credible alternative candidate to challenge Infantino in the March presidential election, with candidacy submissions due Nov. 18.
