Fifa accuses Uefa of 'misinformation campaign' in Infantino court dispute

Fifa has accused Uefa of spreading misinformation and attempting to influence the race for its presidency in new court documents responding to Uefa's discovery request.

• In a filing in the Southern District of Florida, Fifa said Uefa's brief contained "numerous false or misleading statements about Fifa and Infantino."
• Uefa last month filed US papers requesting disclosure of evidence, warning it could lodge a criminal complaint in Switzerland over the shelved Fifa Forward Enterprise plan.
• Uefa alleged investors would have paid $4.2bn for a stake in FFE, valuing the business at about $20bn and significantly undervaluing Fifa's commercial rights.
• Infantino will stand for a fourth presidential term in March, and Fifa claimed Uefa's filings sought to influence that election.
• Fifa denied Infantino stood to gain personally from the abandoned FFE plan, the filing seen by the Press Association said.
• Fifa accused Uefa of seeking the disclosure 'for the purposes of harassment' ahead of the presidential election.
• Fifa argued Uefa conflated equity value with enterprise value, which was 'more than twice' the equity value.
