FIFA official resigns amid fraud allegations
Kevin Lamour has stepped down from his position as Chief Operating Officer at FIFA, following weeks of criticism over FIFA President Gianni Infantino's plan to sell broadcast rights for hosting the World Cup to investors, which he considered "a scam." This plan, proposed by Infantino, involved selling shares of the World Cup management company to private sector investors and was met with rejection from three continental federations and a threat from UEFA to boycott FIFA competitions before it was eventually withdrawn. FIFA confirmed that its working relationship with Lamour ended on August 17, 2026, thanking him for two years of service. Lamour is considered a key figure within the FIFA system and left after increasing pressure and criticism regarding financial reform plans and transparency issues.
