FIFA accused UEFA of a 'smear campaign' and a 'fishing expedition' against FIFA and its President Gianni Infantino, while UEFA threatened to boycott the World Cup unless FIFA's plan was scrapped. FIFA filed a motion to intervene in US District Court, requesting that the discovery process be postponed or dismissed.
