Infantino Offers World Cup Sale, UEFA Responds
Reports have revealed that FIFA President Gianni Infantino is planning to establish a subsidiary commercial company dedicated to integrating business operations and organizing tournaments, with an estimated investment of around $20 billion. The project aims to boost funding for football development and generate revenues exceeding $10 billion, potentially attracting private sector investors, including individuals close to the Trump administration, who might contribute minority shares and invest around $4 billion. The initiative has drawn criticism from the European Football Union (UEFA), which considers it a "red line crossing," warning of the risks of transferring some tournaments' management to the new commercial entity. Meanwhile, Infantino, after his term ends, intends to lead the new company, sparking a debate about the future relationship between football and private investment.
