- Fifa boss arrives late at congress from US president’s trip
- Europe delegates walk out in protest at schedule changes
Uefa has accused the Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, of pursuing “personal political interests” ahead of his responsibilities to football. The shock intervention from European football’s governing body came after several national delegates walked out on the annual Fifa congress earlier on Thursday.
The delegates, who included the president of Uefa, Alexander Ceferin, and the chair of the Football Association, Debbie Hewitt, did so in protest at alterations to the meeting’s schedule, caused by Infantino arriving late to proceedings after accompanying Donald Trump on a tour of Gulf states.
