Ammon News - UEFA has sent a letter to FIFA seeking answers about Gianni Infantino's presidency, including questions over the FIFA ​Forward Enterprise (FFE) project and the FIFA Peace Prize, by ‌November 2, British media reported on Monday.

UEFA has led calls for Infantino to resign since he proposed the now-abandoned FFE project, ​which involved creating a company to run the ​commercial interests of FIFA competitions, including the World ⁠Cup, and selling a minority stake to private investors.

The ​56-year-old, who is up for reelection next year, apologised ​to the FIFA Council last week and told attendees to submit any questions they had about his governance in writing so he could ​answer them at the next meeting on December 16.

However, ​Sky Sports and other British media reported on Monday that UEFA ‌General ⁠Secretary Theodore Theodoridis had written to his FIFA counterpart Mattias Grafstrom seeking a swift response to 42 questions covering 12 topics.

"These questions require answers now," Theodoridis wrote.

"They cannot ​be deferred ​until the next ⁠meeting of the FIFA Council - nor can future governance reforms substitute for scrutiny of ​decisions already taken and accountability for them."

UEFA and FIFA did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

Infantino ⁠will stand ​for reelection in March 2027, ​with a November 18 deadline looming for potential candidates to submit their ​nominations.
