UEFA accuses Infantino & stages FIFA congress walk-out

Asuncion, May 16 (UNI) UEFA accused Gianni Infantino of prioritising "private political interests" after FIFA's president turned up late for the world governing body's own congress in Paraguay.
Infantino has been on a diplomatic tour of the Middle East alongside United States President Donald Trump and arrived two hours and 17 minutes past the scheduled 10:30 start time (14:30 BST) for the FIFA event.
Infantino said his trip prior to the congress had been crucial as it allowed him "to represent football" in "important discussions" with "world leaders in politics and economy".
