UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, along with officials from CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), is pushing for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to step down.

Axar.az reports, via Goal Global, citing The Times, that an alliance has been formed with the aim of removing Infantino from office and "paralyzing FIFA."

Should Infantino insist on staying in power and seek re-election next March, the alliance is considering organising its own international competitions.

UEFA already has a blueprint for staging a global Nations League to rival the World Cup, having first been tasked with developing the idea in 2017.

Infantino's furious opponents have also drawn up plans to boycott meetings of the FIFA Council and its committees, and to refuse to ratify decisions.

Since his troubled project was revealed, Infantino has managed to secure only 15 declarations of support out of 211 member associations.

The English Football Association has joined its Welsh counterparts in withdrawing its support for Infantino, ahead of the FIFA presidential elections scheduled for next year.

England and every other member association would boycott the World Cup if Infantino's proposal is given the green light, UEFA announced.

Legal action against FIFA officials is also on the table as the fallout from this crisis deepens.

It should be noted that last week, FIFA's plan to establish a new structure for selling the commercial rights to its tournaments drew widespread criticism, prompting Gianni Infantino to abandon the initiative.
