FIFA have confirmed they plan to go ahead with their proposal to sell shares in the World Cup to private investors, despite powerful resistance from many of the game’s biggest countries.
President Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell shares prompted widespread disgust after it was initially leaked to the media. Concacaf, the confederation in charge of North, Central American and Caribbean soccer, publicly rejected the proposal shortly after Europe’s UEFA confirmed plans to boycott all FIFA competitions in future if the plans are not scrapped.
