Gianni Infantino became Fifa president in 2016 Fifa has accused Uefa of a "smear campaign against it and its leadership" in a challenge to litigation over president Gianni Infantino's scrapped plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
詹尼·因凡蒂诺 (Gianni Infantino) 于 2016 年就任国际足联主席 国际足联指责欧足联“对其及其领导层进行抹黑”，以质疑欧足联主席因凡蒂诺取消向私人投资者出售世界杯股份的计划的诉讼。
Last week European football's governing body filed legal papers in the US requesting disclosure of evidence and documents from Fifa as part of potential criminal claims in Switzerland.
上周，欧洲足球管理机构向美国提交了法律文件，要求国际足联披露证据和文件，作为瑞士潜在刑事索赔的一部分。
In a dramatic escalation of the controversy, Uefa accused Infantino of "criminal mismanagement" and "a fraudulently off-market price promoted by [him] for his own benefit" over the now-shelved Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) scheme.
在这场争议的急剧升级中，欧足联指责因凡蒂诺在现已搁置的国际足联前锋企业（FFE）计划中“管理不善”和“[他]为了自己的利益而采用欺诈性的场外价格”。
However, world governing body Fifa has now responded with court filings lodged in the US - and seen by the BBC - requesting that permission for access to documents be deferred, or opposed by the end of the month.
然而，世界管理机构国际足联现已向美国提交的法庭文件作出回应（英国广播公司看到了该文件），要求推迟或在本月底之前反对获取文件的许可。
Fifa claims Uefa's argument "suffers from a fundamental defect" and "legal deficiencies".
国际足联声称欧足联的论点“存在根本缺陷”和“法律缺陷”。
"Uefa seeks discovery in aid of a foreign criminal proceeding that does not exist and that Uefa admittedly lacks the authority to initiate.
“欧足联寻求发现证据以帮助一项不存在的外国刑事诉讼，而且欧足联承认该诉讼缺乏启动的权力。
Despite that threshold problem, Uefa asks this court to authorise sweeping discovery about the FFE." It said it had "made clear" that the creation of FFE was "only a proposal", adding that it could have only proceeded on the condition that the majority of member associations supported it and "the relevant approvals of the Fifa Council".
尽管存在门槛问题，欧足联仍要求法院授权对 FFE 进行全面调查。” 它表示，它已经“明确”成立FFE“只是一个提议”，并补充说，只有大多数成员协会支持并且“得到国际足联理事会的相关批准”，它才能继续进行。
"Rather than participate in that democratic process, Uefa issued a press release - the beginning of a weeks-long smear campaign against Fifa and its leadership," it wrote in the court filing.
欧足联在法庭文件中写道：“欧足联没有参与民主进程，而是发布了一份新闻稿——这是针对国际足联及其领导层长达数周的抹黑运动的开始。”
Division, drama and power - what next for Infantino and Uefa?
分裂、戏剧性和权力——因凡蒂诺和欧足联的下一步是什么？
Kushner states regret over World Cup sell-off plan Uefa preparing criminal legal action against Infantino It also claimed that Uefa's "economic motivation" was to prevent smaller countries from having the "financial strength to compete with the European elite".
库什纳对世界杯抛售计划表示遗憾 欧足联准备对因凡蒂诺提起刑事诉讼 它还声称，欧足联的“经济动机”是为了防止较小的国家拥有“与欧洲精英竞争的财政实力”。
"If soccer is strengthened in the developing world, global competition increases, which ultimately reduces Uefa's market power and provides more competition for its flagship tournaments," Fifa said.
国际足联表示：“如果足球运动在发展中国家得到加强，全球竞争就会加剧，这最终会削弱欧足联的市场力量，并为其旗舰赛事提供更多竞争。”
"By raising funds to allow some of Fifa's smaller member associations to better develop soccer, FFE would lead to more players from those nations choosing to represent their countries of origin and playing in their home leagues rather than playing abroad."
“通过筹集资金让国际足联一些较小的会员协会更好地发展足球，FFE将导致更多来自这些国家的球员选择代表自己的祖国并在自己的国内联赛中踢球，而不是在国外踢球。”
Uefa has declined to comment, although BBC Sport has been told insiders believe that if Fifa has nothing to hide, it should disclose the documents and speed up the legal process.
欧足联拒绝发表评论，尽管英国广播公司体育频道获悉，内部人士认为，如果国际足联没有什么可隐瞒的，它应该披露这些文件并加快法律程序。
It has led the rebellion against the Fifa president, who is facing calls to stand down from three confederations.
它领导了对国际足联主席的反抗，国际足联主席面临着要求其退出三个足联的呼声。
Uefa has also asked a court in New York to approve a legal document ordering testimony and documents from venture capitalist Joshua Kushner, the brother of US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, who was set to be the lead investor in FFE, and his company Thrive Eternal.
欧足联还要求纽约一家法院批准一份法律文件，要求风险投资家约书亚·库什纳 (Joshua Kushner) 提供证词和文件。约书亚·库什纳是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普女婿的兄弟，他将成为 FFE 及其公司 Thrive Eternal 的主要投资者。
Thrive had held talks with Infantino about heading up a $4.2bn (£3.1bn) investment in 20% of a new Fifa commercial subsidiary, before the idea was abandoned days after it was revealed in July amid a huge backlash. At the time, Fifa claimed FFE would have increased the funding distributed to each national association for the 2027-2030 cycle from £5.9m to £14.7m.
Thrive 曾与因凡蒂诺就投资 42 亿美元（31 亿英镑）收购国际足联新商业子公司 20% 的股份进行了谈判，但该想法在 7 月份披露后几天因强烈反对而被放弃。 当时，国际足联声称FFE将把2027-2030年周期分配给每个国家协会的资金从590万英镑增加到1470万英镑。
On Sunday, Kushner expressed regret over FFE, saying: "While we stand behind the motivations of FFE, we failed to appreciate the political dynamics of global football, and the lengths some would go to… had we known what this would devolve into, we would not have gotten involved."
周日，库什纳对 FFE 表示遗憾，他说：“虽然我们支持 FFE 的动机，但我们未能理解全球足球的政治动态，以及一些人会做出的努力……如果我们知道这会发展成什么，我们就不会参与其中。”
Uefa has also asked for the disclosure of documents from American financier Greg Maffei, who was a key adviser on the deal.
欧足联还要求披露美国金融家格雷格·马菲（Greg Maffei）的文件，他是该交易的主要顾问。
While Uefa says neither Kushner nor Maffei are anticipated defendants in any legal proceedings, it claims the pair first discussed the FFE concept in July 2025 and that Infantino had "been discussing the underlying concept with Kushner for nearly a year before the terms sheet was ultimately signed".
虽然欧足联表示库什纳和马菲都不是任何法律诉讼中的预期被告，但声称两人在 2025 年 7 月首次讨论了 FFE 概念，并且因凡蒂诺“在条款清单最终签署之前与库什纳讨论了近一年的基本概念”。
Its lawyers also argue the World Cup was deliberately undervalued at about £15bn, which it says is "a figure that was neither the product of an open, competitive auction, nor tested by any independent valuer".
其律师还辩称，世界杯被故意低估为约150亿英镑，并表示“这个数字既不是公开、竞争性拍卖的产物，也不是经过任何独立评估师测试的”。
Uefa claims Infantino failed to consult Fifa's hierarchy over the plan.
欧足联声称因凡蒂诺没有就该计划咨询国际足联高层。
