FIFA President Infantino Attends U-20 Women's World Cup Amid Controversy
FIFA President Gianni Infantino attended the opening match of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Katowice, Poland, on September 5, where hosts Poland faced Argentina. The tournament features 24 teams and runs until September 27 across multiple Polish cities. Infantino's visit comes amid ongoing controversy over his recently abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise plan, which proposed selling World Cup commercial rights to private investors. The plan faced strong opposition from UEFA and other football bodies, leading to its withdrawal and ongoing legal disputes.
