Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin says he will not replace Gianni Infantino as FIFA president. He also criticises Infantino’s failed proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, describing the plan as “even worse than the Super League plan.”
The outlets describe Ceferin as a leading voice against the FIFA proposal known as Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE). They report that Uefa opposed the scheme, and that it is shelved after broad opposition, including from within football’s confederations. The Guardian adds that Uefa is pressing for Infantino to quit and notes that other confederations—including Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation—have expressed support for that position.
Across coverage, the focus is on Ceferin’s stance toward Infantino and the significance of the dispute over World Cup commercial arrangements. While both sources emphasise Ceferin’s criticism, they differ in emphasis: one highlights his decision not to run, while the other also reports on Ceferin’s warnings about challenges if Infantino seeks re-election.
