UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF Criticize FIFA President Over World Cup Commercial Rights Proposal
UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF have jointly criticized FIFA President Gianni Infantino over his abandoned proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup's commercial rights. The confederations accused Infantino of breaking trust through deception and placing himself above the collective football community. They called for a fully independent review of the episode, rejecting FIFA's internal investigation plan. The dispute has raised concerns about FIFA's governance and Infantino's leadership, with threats of boycotts unless assurances are given against similar future proposals.
