Burnham Demands Infantino Step Down | Europe News

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is demanding FIFA President Gianni Infantino resign over his controversial plan to sell a stake in the World Cup to outside investors, calling it an “outrageous suggestion” that betrays the spirit of football. Burnham insists the tournament belongs to fans, not shareholders, and that selling part of it undermines the game’s integrity. The backlash is mounting — UEFA has vowed to boycott the World Cup if the plan proceeds, and Infantino’s top advisor, Carlos Cordeiro, has publicly denounced it as a “bad deal for football.” Despite the firestorm, FIFA appears determined to push ahead, sparking urgent questions about the future of global football governance and the balance between profit and passion.
