FIFA hit back at what it called a 'concerted effort' to undermine president Gianni Infantino within the organisation amid fresh allegations, the governing body said on August 9, 2026.
It accused unnamed detractors of orchestrating a campaign to destabilise its leadership.
UEFA acknowledged a severance payment to a former employee associated with Infantino.
He continues to enjoy robust support from various continental federations despite European discontent.
