FIFA Advisor Carlos Cordeiro Resigns Over Proposed World Cup Stake Sale
Carlos Cordeiro, senior advisor to FIFA President Gianni Infantino and former US Soccer Federation president, resigned in protest against FIFA's proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup's commercial rights. Cordeiro opposed the plan, calling it a "bad deal for football" and stating he had no involvement in the proposal. FIFA aims to create a $20 billion subsidiary to attract private investors, including a firm linked to Joshua Kushner. The proposal has faced backlash from football bodies, with UEFA threatening a World Cup boycott, prompting Infantino to address the controversy.
