Select members of the FIFA Congress walked out of their annual meeting on Thursday in a rebuke of president Gianni Infantino, who forced the meeting to start several hours late as he was traveling back from a trip to the Middle East,

Uefa accuses Fifa president Gianni Infantino of prioritising "private political interests" after he turned up late for the world football governing body's congress in Paraguay.

After arriving at the congress, Infantino apologised for his late arrival, saying: “As president of FIFA, my responsibility is to make decisions in the interests of the organization. I decided to be the last two days in the Middle East knowing the 2034 World Cup will be in Saudi Arabia and the World Cup in 2022 was in Qatar.
