FIFA president Infantino holds talks with Maradona (Reuters)

Former Argentina captain Diego Maradona, a long-time critic of FIFA, has held talks in Paris with its president Gianni Infantino, the global soccer body said on Tuesday. FIFA said that the meeting was part of Infantino's plans to involve top former players in making decisions on the future of the game, and added that the pair also discussed the crisis in the administration of Argentine football. Maradona was a frequent critic of Infantino's predecessor Sepp Blatter and claimed that there was "a mafia" inside FIFA.
