## Key points

- A New York judge rejected FIFA’s effort to block UEFA’s evidence gathering.
- UEFA is investigating Infantino’s abandoned private investment plan.
- The ruling allows UEFA to seek documents, but does not order their release.

## Summary

A New York judge has rejected FIFA subsidiaries’ attempt to stop UEFA from seeking evidence about FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s proposed sale of minority stakes in World Cup and other tournament interests. The decision allows UEFA to pursue documents linked to the proposal as it investigates possible financial wrongdoing and presses for Infantino’s removal.

The evidence request could involve JPMorgan and Thrive Capital, which was proposed to lead the investor group. Infantino abandoned the plan in August after fierce opposition, including threats from UEFA to boycott future FIFA tournaments. FIFA’s lawyers said the ruling did not decide the merits of UEFA’s application and requires no documents to be produced; Infantino intends to seek re-election.
