UEFA has given FIFA until Nov. 2 to release documents about Gianni Infantino's secretive investment plan for the World Cup. This comes amid a power struggle between the two governing bodies. UEFA expressed disappointment last week over Infantino's lack of clarity at a FIFA council meeting. Infantino launched and quickly dropped a $4.2 billion World Cup sell-off plan in July after a backlash led by Europe.

A letter by UEFA states that Infantino's apology and explanation failed to address core concerns about governance. UEFA has submitted 42 questions and demanded answers before the Nov. 18 nomination deadline for next year's FIFA presidential election.
