The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) asked a US court on Thursday to reject a motion filed by two companies affiliated with FIFA. The entities of world football's governing body are seeking to intervene in legal proceedings concerning the interests of FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
The legal dispute centers on attempts by US-based FIFA subsidiaries to join the proceedings as interested parties. UEFA insists that these claims are unfounded and is asking the court to prevent third-party entities from participating in the case.
Details and reasons for the confrontation are set out in court filings. The proceedings underscore the legal tension between Europe's and the world's leading football governing bodies within the US jurisdiction.
