sports π‘οΈ FIFA backs Infantino after WC rights plan flops
FIFA leadership has publicly reaffirmed its full support for President Gianni Infantino. This came after he had to drop a plan to sell World Cup commercial rights, which caused major internal friction. The crisis meeting in Rabat, Morocco, addressed pressure from UEFA and AFC regarding the proposal. The withdrawn FIFA Forward Enterprise plan aimed to raise $4.2bn by selling a 20 percent stake to private investors. FIFA has issued an apology and promised a review to defend its integrity moving forward. π€
