Uefa, Concacaf, and the Asian Football Confederation have issued an open letter accusing FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, of breaching trust 'through deception'. The letter addresses concerns over a proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan, which aimed to create a new company to manage rights for FIFA competitions. This proposal was canceled following backlash from several confederations, leading Uefa to threaten a boycott of FIFA events. The letter also called for an independent review of the situation, coinciding with FIFA's commitment to present a report to the FIFA Council in October.
