UEFA criticizes FIFA over World Cup privatization offer

The European Football Union (UEFA) is opening a new front against the International Federation (FIFA) by criticizing its commercial plan to sell shares of the World Cup to private entities. It considers that FIFA has crossed the "red line" and is using sport to generate profits at the expense of the interests of federations, clubs, and fans. The report revealed that Infantino gave federations a 53-day window to approve the plan in exchange for a financial payment of $40 million to each federation, which was described as a disguised "bribe." The plan also threatens to cut funding from $10 billion to $2.7 billion if the federations do not agree, raising widespread alarm and leading to an emergency meeting of European federations to oppose it. This comes at a time when Infantino is facing increasing criticism over his efforts to boost FIFA’s profits at the expense of fairness and transparency in football.
