Infantino crisis timeline spans 27 days
The article focused on FIFA's attempt to sell a share of its future commercial rights for the World Cup, which sparked widespread opposition from European, American, and Asian football associations due to concerns over transparency, governance, and decision-making monopolization. FIFA announced its intention to proceed with the plan to sell a stake worth $20 billion despite negative reactions, leading to protests and boycotts from the affected associations. Some described this move as an attempt to overstep permissible boundaries in football governance. Ultimately, FIFA canceled the plan amid strong pressure from the European Union and other associations, amid increasing criticism and a loss of confidence in Gianni Infantino's leadership, despite support from some Arab federations and backing from U.S. President Trump.
