UEFA president

Fifa says “key documents” relating to president Gianni Infantino’s failed plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors will be made available to members of its council. Last month, Uefa gave football’s world governing body until 2 November to release details about the hugely controversial Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal, and to answer a list of questions relating to its governance and decision-making.

European governing body Uefa has told Fifa it must release key documents and answer all questions relating to its governance and decision-making by a deadline of 2 November. At the Fifa Council on Thursday, president Gianni Infantino apologised for his World Cup sell-off plan – but failed to offer a full explanation for how the proposal was devised.

Aleksander Ceferin has announced he will stand for a fourth and final term as UEFA president after recieving what the European governing body described as the “unanimous” backing of its 55 national associations. The 58-year-old had previously said that he would not seek re-election next year, but informed chiefs of all UEFA’s members associations of his change of a heart at a meeting in Berlin on Thursday.
