On August 1, UEFA requested the resignation of FIFA President Infantino. If he refuses, UEFA is ready to launch a vote of no confidence against him. According to reports, this requires 43 of FIFA's 211 member states to vote for it, while UEFA has 55 member countries. Earlier, in the absence of communication with football federations on all continents, FIFA decided to launch a plan to sell World Cup shares. Subsequently, UEFA, AFC, and the Central American Football Federation publicly criticized the plan. Among them, UEFA stated that once FIFA implemented this plan, it would refuse to participate in FIFA events, including the World Cup. Faced with intense pressure, FIFA announced that it would abandon this plan. Infantino said, “The extent of the division that the plan has caused, regardless of the level of support, is no longer in line with the interests of the initially set goals.”
