FIFA President Infantino Faces Backlash Over World Cup Sell-Off Plan
FIFA President Gianni Infantino is facing a leadership crisis following a failed plan to sell off the organization's commercial assets. Reports suggest Infantino sought backing from Donald Trump after the plan's collapse, a claim FIFA has refuted. Several key figures and nations, including Wales, England, and UEFA, have withdrawn support, with UEFA threatening legal action. Arsene Wenger has distanced himself from the sell-off bid, and his communications are being retained as potential evidence. FIFA is now considering Infantino's potential successors as smaller nations hold significant influence in the ensuing power struggle.
