Pressure is mounting on FIFA President Gianni Infantino after the collapse of his controversial plan to sell a stake in the commercial rights of the FIFA World Cup to private investors. The proposal sparked strong opposition from several football governing bodies, with critics arguing it lacked transparency and threatened the long-term interests of the global game.
Following the failed initiative, prominent football figures, including LaLiga president Javier Tebas, have publicly called on Infantino not to continue as FIFA president. UEFA has also declared a loss of confidence in his leadership, intensifying scrutiny over the future of football’s governing body.
