Eclat at FIFA Congress: European delegates not on podium

Representatives of UEFA leave the FIFA Congress in Paraguay prematurely because Gianni Infantino arrives late. Europeans see the behaviour of the FIFA president as an affront.

After the coffee break, they will not return: DFB CEO Neuendorf, UEFA President Ceferin and other Council members criticize the behaviour of FIFA President Gianni Infantino with their protest action.

Much too late FIFA CEO Infantino arrives at the Paraguay Congress. Not with us, say the Europeans around UEFA CEO Ceferin and DFB President Neuendorf and leave their seats.

Gianni Infantino comes too late. Then he stops the FIFA congress as if nothing had happened. But in his back there are remarkable scenes. The DFB boss is also involved.

After the coffee break, they did not return to the hall: European delegates led by DFB boss Bernd Neuendorf and Uefa president Aleksander Čeferin protested against FIFA leader Gianni Infantino's trip to the Middle East.

The President of the World Football Association is bringing the delegates against him at a congress in Asunción – with apparently threefold behavior. Europe's emissaries then decide for a sign.
