UEFA's Ceferin says trust with FIFA still broken after Infantino investment row
The UEFA president spoke for the first time since FIFA said it would review its decision-making, saying trust remains broken, according to Al Jazeera.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said trust between UEFA and FIFA remains broken following a dispute over an investment decision involving FIFA president Gianni Infantino, according to Al Jazeera.
Ceferin's comments mark the first time he has spoken publicly since FIFA said it would review its decision-making processes, the report said, though it did not specify further details of the review or the original investment dispute that triggered the rift.
The remarks point to continuing friction at the top of world football's governing bodies, with UEFA's leadership signaling that relations with FIFA have not been repaired despite FIFA's stated willingness to reconsider its approach.
Al Jazeera's report did not include a response from FIFA or Infantino to Ceferin's latest comments.
The dispute adds to a series of tensions between European football's governing body and FIFA in recent years over governance, competition scheduling and decision-making authority within the sport.
