UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin rules out FIFA bid, but warns Gianni Infantino: 'Quit or face rival'
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has ruled out challenging Gianni Infantino for the FIFA presidency but delivered his strongest warning yet to the world football chief, saying Infantino must either step down or face a challenger at next year’s election.
Infantino has come under mounting pressure following his now-abandoned proposal to sell a stake in the commercial and ticketing rights of FIFA competitions to private equity investors. The plan triggered fierce opposition from UEFA and other continental confederations, with European football’s governing body even threatening a boycott of FIFA competitions.
