Fifa launches new attack on media over alleged ‘concerted effort’ to undermine Gianni Infantino

FIFA has issued a statement alleging a 'concerted and ongoing effort' by some parties to undermine the organisation and its president Gianni Infantino. The statement came in response to UEFA confirming that a 'departure payment' was made to a female employee allegedly involved in a relationship with Infantino during his time as UEFA's general secretary. FIFA categorically denied the relationship allegations, warning that 'insinuation should not be presented as fact.'
