FIFA Aims to Sell World Cup EU Responds
A crisis has erupted between FIFA and the European Union over football, following a proposal by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to sell the World Cup in the form of shares to private sector investors. The project aims to establish a new entity controlled by FIFA, with an expected deal value exceeding 17 billion euros. It involves the participation of 211 associations and seeks to expand the tournament to include more than 48 teams, with the possibility of holding matches in less than four years. This proposal received an angry response from the European Union, which considered that such a move goes beyond the boundaries of football governance, emphasizing that the sport is not a commodity to be bought and sold.
