PSG play Aston Villa in the Super Cup, while related developments outside the match include heightened FIFA–UEFA tensions and action affecting a Somali referee.
Multiple outlets report that relations between UEFA and FIFA are worsening, with UEFA pushing back on FIFA leadership and plans involving the World Cup. One report links the dispute to FIFA President Gianni Infantino and an aborted proposal that would have involved selling an interest in the World Cup.
Separately, the Somali referee is barred from the World Cup. The reports treat the ban as part of the broader governance and disciplinary issues surrounding international football, though they differ in emphasis on what the FIFA–UEFA dispute means for competitions and how it is unfolding at the administrative level.
