UEFA's Ceferin rules out FIFA run but urges Infantino to step down or face challenger

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has confirmed he will not run against Gianni Infantino in next year's FIFA presidential election. However, Ceferin warned that Infantino could face a serious rival candidate if he chooses to seek re-election. The remarks follow Infantino's scrapped proposal to sell FIFA competition rights, which drew significant criticism. Ceferin suggested that Infantino no longer commands widespread support within the global football community. He also pointedly reminded Infantino that UEFA had played a key role in backing his original rise to the FIFA presidency.
