Fifa scraps World Cup stake sale proposal

Gianni Infantino has confirmed the controversial proposal to sell World Cup stakes to private investors has been abandoned due to global backlash and internal divisions.

Fifa President Gianni Infantino confirmed the plan would not proceed, admitting it had created "divisions of a nature that are no longer of the interest of the objective".

The announcement comes after Uefa threatened a boycott and Carlos Cordeiro, a senior advisor, resigned in protest. The initiative faced criticism for a lack of consultation and serious lack of respect. albergomalica.it
