Uefa and 54 national associations, with Azerbaijan as the only exception, reached a shared position on the direction of Fifa reform during the meeting.
Infantino is expected to seek another term as Fifa president in March, and no official challenger has yet been confirmed.
Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Ramon Vega has expressed his intention to run, although it remains uncertain whether he can secure the five endorsements required to appear on the ballot.
“Changes to the organisation’s structure alone will not be sufficient,” Uefa stated.
“Fifa also requires fresh leadership: a credible figure capable of bringing people together, with strong ties to football, the knowledge and vision to lead, the trust of different regions and a firm dedication to development, reform, integrity and independence.”
A significant part of Uefa’s proposal focuses on organisational governance and limiting some of the president’s direct authority, which previously resulted in the Fifa Forward Enterprise plan being developed privately.
The proposal also calls for presidential and executive influence to be excluded from supervisory bodies responsible for ethical and disciplinary issues.
Uefa further stated that Fifa funds must not be used for personal benefit or election campaigns, while each of the organisation’s 211 member associations should receive at least $10m (£7.5m) in extra financial support.
