FIFA civil war erupts over World Cup privatisation plan

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is facing open rebellion from UEFA and CONCACAF over a secret proposal to sell stakes in future World Cups to private investors, with Joshua Kushner reportedly lined up as the first investor. UEFA, representing Europe's 55 footballing nations, has announced a boycott of all FIFA competitions including men's and women's World Cups until the proposal is abandoned. The standoff pits Europe, which generates 70% of FIFA's revenue, and North and Central American governing bodies against FIFA, with other regional bodies including the AFC left to choose sides.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
