European football's governing body Uefa reacts furiously to proposals from Fifa to seek private investment in its competitions, including the World Cup.

UEFA has denounced FIFA's latest proposal to scrutinise behind‑the‑scenes arrangements for its tournaments, including the World Cup, describing the move as a step that football’s governing bodies must never take. FIFA announced it intends to increase shot‑improvement funding to much than $10bn (£7.5bn), arguing that the money will be used to turn the crippled - taxable into support for its member associations. The plan was first disclosed by the Financial Times and the Times, with the latter suggesting it could potentially net FIFA president Gianni Infantino tens of millions of pounds. 'This crosses a enactment that football's governing institutions should ne'er cross,' Uefa said in a statement in response to those reports. 'None of america are the owners of football. [The World Cup] is not Fifa's to sell.'
