UEFA asks a US court to deny a request by FIFA subsidiaries to participate in legal proceedings tied to former FIFA president Gianni Infantino, according to reports from Channel NewsAsia and The Economic Times. The filings are part of a broader effort over who can join the dispute connected to the Infantino matter.
Both outlets describe UEFA’s opposition as focusing on whether the subsidiaries should be allowed to join what is described as an “Infantino discovery” or related discovery fight. While the underlying case involves the same parties and wider litigation context, the reports differ in emphasis: CNA highlights UEFA urging the court to deny the bid to join the Infantino discovery dispute, while The Economic Times frames the issue more broadly as UEFA taking its FIFA-related fight to a US court.
The sources agree that the question before the US court is procedural—centered on participation and access to discovery—rather than on a final ruling on the merits of the Infantino-related allegations themselves. Further court action and developments would depend on the US court’s decision on the subsidiaries’ request.
