Uefa has 'lost confidence' in Fifa leadership

Uefa says it has lost confidence in the current Fifa leadership of Gianni Infantino as the fallout from the scrapped controversial investment plan intensified.

On Saturday, Infantino said Fifa would no longer proceed with the proposal to sell stakes in the governing body's competitions to private investors.

Uefa - which governs European football - had earlier voted to boycott World Cups if the plans went ahead, and other governing bodies also voiced their opposition.

In a lengthy statement, Uefa said Infantino had "failed to deliver" on promises he made when elected in 2016.

"The current Fifa leadership has not only lost Uefa's confidence but also that of many other members of the football family," it read.
