FIFA President Infantino's World Cup Privatization Plan Collapses
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Infantino's privatization dream died faster than a VAR review for offside, revealing even FIFA's inner circle has a limit.
💡 Why it matters
This collapse preserves football governance's non-profit model and prevents private investors from dictating World Cup policies.
FIFA abandoned its plan to sell stakes in major competitions after opposition from UEFA, AFC, and internal officials. The proposal faced strong criticism from FIFA's chief operating officer and led to a senior adviser's resignation.
