FIFA President Faces Fire Over World Cup Profit Plan | Amarillo News

FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino is under fire as the organization defends him against what it calls a coordinated smear campaign fueled by rumors and false claims. The controversy erupted after reports surfaced of a plan to sell World Cup profits to private equity firms — a proposal swiftly rejected by UEFA and two other major confederations. Infantino, a former UEFA executive, apologized for how the plan was handled, and FIFA’s board backed him, but UEFA remains defiant, threatening a boycott unless the plan is fully scrapped. FIFA insists that while change is difficult and can stir resistance, it doesn’t justify undermining its elected leader through unsubstantiated attacks.
