UEFA has formally demanded FIFA respond in writing by November 2 to 42 questions on its governance and decision-making.
- UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote to FIFA's Mattias Grafström demanding a substantive written response to 42 questions with supporting documentation by November 2.
- The questions cover the failed $20 billion World Cup sell-off with Thrive Capital, Folarin Balogun's overturned red card, and the FIFA Peace Prize awarded to Donald Trump.
- Theodoridis said FIFA's explanations had not satisfactorily addressed fundamental questions and demanded any refusal to release documents be justified individually.
- Infantino apologized at Thursday's FIFA Council for the sell-off plan but failed to release the related documents.
