German FA urges FIFA probe
The German Football Association has called for a comprehensive investigation into FIFA's plan to introduce private sector investors into World Cup activities, amid strong opposition from the European Union and other continental federations. The head of the German Football Association, Bernd Neuendorf, criticized FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s actions, considering them unilateral, non-transparent, and damaging to the interests of football. He called for radical changes in FIFA’s working culture, including discussions on decisions that involve members of governance bodies. The call comes after FIFA withdrew the project that would have allowed private investors to participate, due to protests against the initiative. Europe and others regarded these objections as irresponsible and risky, as they could lead to politicization of clubs and tournaments.
