Denmark’s football chief has alleged that ‌‌FIFA declined to answer “critical questions” at a Legal Committee meeting about its proposal to sell commercial ⁠⁠stakes in tournaments, as he ⁠⁠renewed calls for President Gianni Infantino to step down.

Danish FA (DBU) President Jesper Moller said he was surprised that the now-abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise was not on the agenda and was frustrated by the ⁠⁠world football governing body’s evasive response to his inquiries.

“I naturally used the meeting to ask a number of critical questions about the process, which I still consider to have been deeply problematic,” Moller said in a statement.

Last month, the DBU vowed to find a credible alternative to Infantino in next year’s election, saying it had lost confidence in the Swiss-Italian ⁠⁠after his aborted proposal to sell commercial stakes in FIFA tournaments, including the World Cup.
