FIFA president Gianni Infantino has reportedly told national federations they could bank £30 million by signing up to the controversial World Cup sell-off plan. The proposal, confirmed by football's governing body on Tuesday, involves selling parts of the World Cup to private investors, with some reportedly linked to Donald Trump.
Leaked Letter to FIFA Nations
According to reports, Infantino's letter to FIFA member associations outlined the financial incentive as the row over the plan continues. The move has drawn criticism, including from the Football Association, which expressed 'deep concern' over the proposal.
Reactions and Fallout
The saga has taken another twist weeks after the tournament ended. Critics argue that selling World Cup assets to private investors could compromise the integrity of the sport. The FA issued an explosive statement, saying it was 'deeply concerned' about the plan.
