Infantino's World Cup share plan
Reports have indicated that the President of the International Football Federation (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, is studying a plan to privatize the World Cup tournaments by offering shares of the event to private investors, with the aim of attracting billions of dollars and updating the game's economic model. The project involves creating a new company responsible for managing the men's, women's, and club World Cups, allowing external investors to purchase stakes, including through firms such as Thrive Capital and J.P. Morgan Bank. This approach aims to boost revenues and expand investments in the tournament, but it also raises concerns about potential negative impacts on the spirit of the game. There has been opposition from Europeans and politicians, who emphasize that football belongs to the fans and is not a commodity to be sold. They fear that economic expansion could lead to changes in host locations and tournament schedules.
