Infantino’s World Cup Sell Off Collapse Exposes Limits Of FIFA’s Power The abrupt abandonment of Gianni Infantino's plan to sell a stake in FIFA's commercial rights marks a rare and significant defeat for the organization's president, exposing the limits of his authority.
This development is particularly noteworthy given the unprecedented nature of the proposal itself: placing FIFA's most valuable assets into a $20 billion company with outside investors holding a 20% stake.
Infantino has long been known for pushing through ambitious changes despite widespread resistance.
