UEFA and its allies have prepared a new blow to Gianni Infantino.

UEFA and other continental football federations are preparing a new challenge against Gianni Infantino, who seeks to retain his position as FIFA president in the upcoming March election. They have threatened to create a new international competition to rival the World Cup if Infantino does not step down from his candidacy. The article notes that Infantino previously proposed selling shares in the World Cup to private investors, which caused controversy before he had to retract the idea. UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, along with leaders of CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation, is demanding Infantino’s resignation. According to The Times, a coalition has formed with the goal of removing Infantino and 'paralyzing FIFA.' They are considering organizing their own international tournaments if Infantino remains in power. UEFA already has a draft plan for a Global Nations League, initiated in 2017, which would compete with the World Cup. Infantino’s opponents are prepared to boycott FIFA meetings and refuse to approve decisions. Infantino has secured support from only 15 out of 211 member countries since his controversial proposal was revealed.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both sides of the conflict between Infantino and UEFA, including Infantino's proposals and the opposition from UEFA and other confederations. It cites The Times as a source but does not show clear favoritism toward either side. The framing appears balanced, focusing on the facts
