‘Breach of trust’: UEFA, CONCACAF, AFC launch scathing attack on Infantino

‘Breach of trust’: UEFA, CONCACAF, AFC launch scathing attack on Infantino UEFA, CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have launched a stinging attack on FIFA president Gianni Infantino, accusing him of a “fundamental breach of trust” over his reported plans to sell an interest in the FIFA World Cup. In an open letter to the “football family” released on Monday, the three confederations said the controversy was not about money or previously agreed competition decisions, but about the integrity of football's governing structures and those elected to lead them. The letter came after Infantino faced intense backlash over a proposal to sell a stake in future World Cup profits to private equity investors. UEFA, CONCACAF and the AFC have opposed the plan, while UEFA had threatened a boycott of FIFA competitions by its 55 member associations if the proposal was not scrapped. ‘A profound failure of judgment’ The three confederations stressed that the growth of football over the past decade had been a collective achievement involving FIFA, the confederations, member associations and thousands of people working across the sport. “This is not about money,” they said, arguing that FIFA's existing reserves should instead be responsibly distributed to strengthen investment in member associations. The confederations said their opposition was also not about changing World Cup allocations, tournament expansion or other decisions that had already been collectively agreed. “This is about something more fundamental: the integrity of the game, and the integrity of those elected to lead it,” the letter said. They accused FIFA of treating the controversy as a communication failure rather than a leadership and governance issue. “FIFA's recent letter to its Vice-Presidents and 211 Member Associations acknowledges that mistakes were made in the process.…

‘Akhada, political links’: Brij Bhushan reacts to acquittal, alleges conspiracy

‘Akhada, political links’: Brij Bhushan reacts to acquittal, alleges conspiracy NEW DELHI: Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Monday reacted to his acquittal in the sexual harassment case involving women wrestlers, claiming that the court’s observations had highlighted links between the complainants, a particular wrestling akhada and political groups. Speaking to ANI, Brij Bhushan said the court’s observations had raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the allegations and pointed to the role of a specific akhada associated with the Hooda family. Brij Bhushan questions wrestlers’ allegations "The coach and the akhada that have been named are, in a sense, very special to the Hooda family. It was primarily athletes from this specific akhada who emerged, rather than wrestlers from other akhadas across Haryana... this point was reflected in the judgment as well," he told ANI. The former WFI chief also referred to statements made by two wrestlers during the proceedings, claiming that their testimonies were taken into account by the court while arriving at its verdict. "Two of the wrestlers who had levelled allegations detailed exactly what had transpired in the privacy of the judge's chambers. The court placed these statements on record, and the judgment was subsequently delivered based on this testimony," Singh said. Brij Bhushan further questioned the addresses mentioned by the complainants, alleging that wrestlers from different districts had provided the same address in their complaints.
