Football belongs to no individual: UEFA, CONCACAF, AFC take aim at Infantino

FIFA president Gianni Infantino came under renewed fire on Monday after three confederations - UEFA (Europe), CONCACAF (North and Central America) and AFC (Asia) - filed a joint letter.

Infantino has been criticised ever since launching, and then withdrawing within days, a plan to bring in private investment into FIFA events, including the World Cups.

FIFA had hit back on Saturday at "a concerted and ongoing effort by some to undermine" football's governing body and Infantino.

However, the critics remain unbowed. "Leadership in football is not about holding - or demanding - power to be held. When trust is broken through deception, that duty has been abandoned," the confederations wrote.
