FIFA stands firm on World Cup sales dispute
The International Football Federation (FIFA) reaffirmed its insistence on moving forward with a plan to sell stakes in a commercial entity related to the World Cup to private investors, despite objections from UEFA and several other associations, as well as their displeasure with how the proposal was disclosed. While FIFA President Gianni Infantino supports the plan, Europe strongly opposes the use of private resources and the potential disruption to match schedules, demanding that their national teams not participate in FIFA tournaments if the project continues. Implementing the plan will require the approval of a majority of associations, with a final deadline set for September, amid concerns over its impact on tournament organization and the future of international football.
