UEFA has sent FIFA a letter with questions about its governance and decision-making and set a deadline of November 2 for FIFA to release documents and answer them, according to Al Jazeera, the BBC and Sky News. The questions concern Gianni Infantino’s World Cup sell-off plan, which FIFA launched and dropped in July, and other governance issues. The BBC reports that Infantino apologised for the plan at a FIFA Council meeting but did not fully explain how it was devised. Sky News reports that European football officials have raised alleged conflicts of interest involving Infantino’s business dealings with the Trump family.
