What happened
FIFA says legal applications made by UEFA to access documents related to FIFA's controversial private investor plan are part of a "smear campaign" against the global governing body. UEFA is applying through the American courts for discovery of evidence and documentation linked to FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a private company which it was envisaged would run the World Cup and other FIFA competitions.
