CAF to Discuss FIFA World Cup Proposal
The African Football Confederation, chaired by Patrice Motsepe, is holding a meeting to evaluate Gianni Infantino's proposed plan, which suggests transforming the World Cup into a corporation and investing in its shares, with the goal of generating revenues of approximately $4 billion, compared to the current benefits estimated at $1 billion. The project faces widespread rejection from the European Union, CONCACAF, and the Asian Football Confederation, which believe that football is not for sale. The African Confederation considers that this proposal could negatively impact its interests, especially since it has good relations with Infantino. Infantino was annoyed by the opposition and stated that the project is still just a proposal, not a final decision, while the debate continues over the viability of converting the World Cup into a corporation and investing in its shares.
