Infantino’s advisor Criticizes FIFA Deal
A senior advisor at FIFA resigned in protest against Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell a stake in World Cup rights, considering the project a bad deal that threatens the long-term future of football. Infantino proposed establishing a $20 billion company to manage World Cup events and offering up to a 20% stake to private sector investors, which was widely rejected by European, Asian, and North American federations. They viewed the project as a sell-out of the sport’s spirit and a risk to its future. Despite the opposition, FIFA insists on continuing consultations with the associations, though there remains concern that the project could undermine the principles of the game and conflict with the interests of national federations.
