Infantino clarifies World Cup sale stance
FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed that the proposal to sell a portion of the commercial rights for the World Cup to external investors is still under discussion and is an opportunity, not an obligation. This came in response to criticism from continental associations. He pointed out that FIFA plans to establish a company to manage the rights and to offer up to 20% of its shares to the private sector. However, he clarified that this will not impact the federation's independence or the management of major tournaments, emphasizing that fans will remain at the core of decision-making. This move is part of an effort to develop the sport’s commercial side amid a significant economic expansion, with assurances that these changes will not affect the continuity of major tournaments like the World Cup.
