Europe Acts to Counter Infantino
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is holding an emergency meeting to discuss the plans announced by the International Federation of Football (FIFA) to bring private investors into its tournaments, including the World Cup. UEFA condemned these plans, which were announced by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, considering them a threat to fan support and a move to increase the number of tournaments and matches solely to boost revenue. The new company that will acquire the rights to FIFA tournaments is valued at around $20 billion, with promises to distribute $40 million to each association from an initial financial package of $10 billion if they support the proposal before September 19. UEFA emphasized that opposition to the project is growing, while the African Football Union is studying the proposal. Meanwhile, Infantino defends the plans as an opportunity to accelerate the global development of football, reaffirming that the game will remain as it is for the fans.
