Infantino Must Go!
After North and Central America then Asia also objected to the idea of the World Cup allowing private investment, FIFA has dropped the idea.
Now, sack Infantino. Weird to think people are now starting to miss the days of Sepp Blatter and his brown paper bag era.

UEFA Could Boycott FIFA
It's good to see someone finally standing for something. The plans by FIFA to effectively sell the World Cup to private interests are obscene. Gianni Infantino has to go.
If the plans do go ahead, Association Football (soccer or just football to many) will become like the WWE, just a display of skill with no real meaning.
This year's World Cup was a disaster, what with surge pricing and hydration breaks. And the halftime show during the final was ridiculous.
If UEFA boycott, they could run their own competition in direct competition. Outside of Europe, only Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina have won World Cups, the game is dominated by the Europeans.
UEFA and its 55 member associations stand as one. We unanimously and unequivocally reject FIFA’s proposal to transfer ownership interests in the World Cup and other FIFA competitions to private investors.
The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product. It is one of football’s greatest sporting legacies. It has been built over generations by players, national teams and supporters across every continent. No part of it should ever be surrendered to private investors. The World Cup is not for sale.
