On Monday 10, UEFA, AFC, CONCACAF issued joint letter criticizing FIFA president Gianni Infantino and demanding independent investigation into the abandoned commercial rights proposal. The three confederations said sport does not belong to any individual, rejected the notion that the issue is merely financial, highlighted breach of trust and lack of consultation with member federations. They described the episode as a ‘failure of discernment’ and called for third‑party review, excluding FIFA officials. The letter accuses FIFA leadership of breaking confidence by acting without broad consultation, labeling the process as a communication failure. It demands that any investigation be carried out by an independent entity, with no participation from FIFA staff or interested parties. The criticism adds pressure on Infantino, who already faced scrutiny. The joint statement leaves open how the proposed independent inquiry will be organized and which body will assume the task, while the confederations await a response from FIFA.
