203. The Man Taking On Infantino: UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin
About this episode
Alastair Campbell interviews UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin about the revolt against FIFA President Gianni Infantino's plans and the intersection of football and politics.
How did UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin lead the revolt that tore apart Gianni Infantino's plan to privatise the World Cup? Is Infantino finished as FIFA President after alienating the European federations who once put him there? What does Infantino's courtship of Donald Trump - from the FIFA "Peace Prize" to the World Cup red card scandal - reveal about the collision of football and politics? Alastair Campbell is joined by UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin, to answer all these questions and more. __________ Search IG.com to find out more and/or Look for IG in your app store. __________ Instagram: @restispolitics Twitter: @restispolitics Email: therestispolitics@goalhanger.com __________ Social Producer: Celine Charles Video Editor: Josh Smith, Vasco Andrade, Lorcan Moullier, Caroline Kaye, Bruno Di Castri Assistant Producer: Daisy Alston-Horne Producer: Evan Green Senior Producer: Nicole Maslen Executive Producer: Bella Soames Learn more about your ad choices.
