Trump warns of risks to World Cup revenue
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has come under increasing pressure to resign due to his plans to restructure the World Cup business. These plans include creating a separate entity for tournament rights and offering broadcast and sponsorship revenue to investors, with the possibility of himself being employed by the new entity for salaries potentially reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. Despite strong opposition from European and American federations who argue that these plans threaten control over one of the most valuable assets in global football, Trump publicly supported Infantino, warning that replacing him would be a serious mistake and emphasizing that his continued leadership is essential for the ongoing financial success of the World Cup, which has generated over $15 billion up to the 2026 edition. Notably, Infantino aims to expand the World Cup to boost revenues, but his plans to privatize commercial rights faced fierce opposition and led to a decline in confidence in Infantino from some major football federations.
