FIFA’s embattled president Gianni Infantino said he has the backing of the “vast, vast majority” of soccer, despite his failed plan to sell stakes in the World Cup.
Infantino is seeking re-election next year as the head of soccer’s world governing body in the face of attempts to force him to stand down in the wake of the divisive plan.
He infuriated soccer leaders in Europe, North America and Asia over the proposal to sell profits in the World Cup through a commercial subsidiary.
