UEFA has threatened legal action against FIFA and its president Gianni Infantino over the now-abandoned plan to allow private investment in the governing body’s flagship competitions. The plan, which would have sold stakes in events such as the World Cup, was dropped after widespread criticism. UEFA sent a legal letter to FIFA, raising concerns about the proposal. Arsene Wenger, the former Arsenal manager who now works for FIFA, backed the decision to abandon the plan, saying the organization made the right choice. The legal threat adds to pressure on Infantino, who had championed the investment scheme. No further details of UEFA's letter or its next steps have been revealed.
