Ex-international players challenge FIFA chief
Under the headline "Call for a Change in FIFA Leadership," several former French national team players, including Mikaël Silvestre, Emmanuel Petit, and Olivier Dacourt, called for a leadership change within the International Football Federation (FIFA). This came in response to the failure of a controversial plan aimed at opening World Cup revenues to private investors, as well as other proposals to manage the World Cup through a subsidiary worth $20 billion, with up to 20% shares offered to external investors. The players emphasized that the current leadership has been heavily influenced by authority, leading to a deviation of the sport from its core values, with concerns raised that the interests of those in charge are surpassing those of football itself. This support follows FIFA's refusal to abandon the investor sale plan, which faced widespread opposition from continental associations in Europe, North America, and Asia.
