Infantino's Kushner ties threaten FIFA
FIFA President Gianni Infantino faced significant backlash after a secret plan to sell a 20% stake in World Cup rights to a Kushner-linked private equity firm collapsed.

Infantino withdrew the plan amid widespread condemnation, which has severely impacted his re-election prospects, with several major federations withdrawing support and UEFA threatening legal action.
