Uefa demands Fifa release documents on World Cup sell-off scheme

Document request details

Theodore Theodoridis sent a letter with an eight-page list of questions to Mattias Grafström. This document covers topics ranging from the proposed sale of commercial rights to relations involving Donald Trump. Fifa president Gianni Infantino declined to give substantive answers at the Zurich council meeting last week.

Specific allegations raised

The inquiry includes questions about Infantino's personal remuneration package and payments made to singer Marc Anthony. Reports also mention the handling of the Folarin Balogun disciplinary case and the peace prize arrangements. Uefa lawyers have asked US federal courts to authorise subpoenas for testimony about the abandoned investment plan.

Next meeting location

Fifa council members are scheduled to gather in Doha on 16 December for their next meeting. Infantino asked council members to submit written questions before that date instead of answering them orally. Uefa expressed deep dissatisfaction because previous explanations failed to address fundamental questions raised by delegates.
