@guardian: Who do you want to see running world football? ⚽️🗳️ While sporting headlines have been dominated by the Manchester City legal scandal, an even bigger war for the soul of the game is raging at the very top. Aleksander Ceferin, the president of Uefa – European football’s governing body – has attacked his embattled Fifa counterpart Gianni Infantino in a scathing takedown of the failed Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) project, saying “the emperor is naked” and declaring “it is time to say ‘enough’”. Uefa has launched a lawsuit in US courts, seeking internal documents to investigate whether Fifa committed "criminal mismanagement" by undervaluing World Cup tournament rights for private equity investors. Fifa claims the legal challenge is just a "misinformation campaign" designed to sabotage Infantino ahead of the March election. Infantino abandoned the sell-off plan after a massive backlash, but with all this legal warfare, backroom drama, and public fallout ... why is no one actually running against him? In this video, the @Guardian Sport’s Nikhita Chulani breaks down “one of the most interesting pieces of the puzzle” – and why potential challengers face such a difficult task. For an in-depth look at some of the possible contenders, read our correspondent Matt Hughes’ report via the link in bio #Fifa #Infantino #Uefa #WorldCup #Football Video: @Nikhita + @xaymacaa
