Uefa discusses expanded Nations League with Concacaf and AFC
Summary

Uefa has initiated talks with Concacaf to potentially expand the Nations League, which may include teams from North and Central America and the Caribbean. This proposal could be implemented starting with the 2028-29 edition of the tournament. Discussions reflect increasing collaboration between Uefa and Concacaf, aiming to create pan-continental competitions without Fifa's involvement. Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin and Concacaf President Victor Montagliani reportedly believe that Fifa President Gianni Infantino should resign amid ongoing controversies. Infantino is scheduled to attend a youth football event in the Dominican Republic this weekend, which may provide an opportunity for him to bolster support among Caribbean nations amidst this climate.
