Uefa has said Gianni Infantino’s apology over his scrapped World Cup investment plan “changes nothing” and reaffirmed its threat to boycott Fifa competitions. In a letter signed by Infantino and Fifa general secretary Mattias Grafström on Wednesday and seen by ITV News, Fifa sought to move past the crisis and uphold the president's leadership in the face of calls for his sacking. However, in a statement on Thursday, Uefa questioned the credibility of the message, which declared Infantino had the “full support” of members of Fifa’s management board. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
