Støre Criticizes FIFA's Privatization Plans

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has reacted strongly against FIFA President Gianni Infantino's plans to hand over World Cup rights to private investors.

Støre expressed concerns that this move would make money even more important in football, potentially excluding many people. 'Jeg reagerer på at pengene blir enda viktigere. Det kommer til å ekskludere veldig mange,' Støre said to NRK. freshyourfeel.com

The Norwegian leader fears this will create a divide between football and strong popular engagement. He expressed agreement with France's sports minister who stated that football is not for sale.
