📍 How it ended

The dispute between UEFA and FIFA intensified with UEFA’s legal move and boycott threat being described as a “massive escalation” in the Infantino feud, and the Champions League draw framed as a stand against the FIFA president. On the same day UEFA announced it would drop the boycott threat, giving FIFA some breathing room, while still preparing a criminal complaint in Swiss courts and issuing a joint statement from national association representatives.

The timing of the Champions League draw has become a flashpoint in the escalating conflict between UEFA and FIFA. The move comes after UEFA threatened to boycott the World Cup, and now is preparing a criminal complaint in Swiss courts.

The complaint targets Infantino's plan to sell World Cup hosting rights to private investors. UEFA's statement, published on its website, signals a united front among European soccer associations.

The statement does not specify the exact grounds for the complaint. The open question is whether UEFA's legal action will succeed in halting Infantino's plans.
