Top football bodies accuse Fifa of ‘deception’ over World Cup plans

UEFA, CONCACAF and the AFC believe that Fifa president Gianni Infantino’s recent plan to sell an interest in the World Cup was a “fundamental breach of trust” with the institutions world soccer’s governing body serves. In an “open letter to the football family” revealed yesterday, Uefa, Concacaf and the AFC also said that “when trust is broken through deception, when an individual places himself above the collective that entrusted him with authority, that duty has been abandoned.”
