Fifa Scraps Plan to Sell World Cup Stakes

Gianni Infantino has officially scrapped his controversial proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, citing divisions that no longer serve the game's objective.

The decision follows widespread anger from global football stakeholders, including Uefa which threatened a boycott. Senior advisor Carlos Cordeiro resigned in protest, while COO Kevin Lamour criticized the "serious lack of respect" shown during the consultation process.

Infantino stated the plan "will not proceed" as it has created rifts incompatible with the sport's goals. goldparty.lat
