FIFA Abandons World Cup Sale Plan

FIFA has abandoned plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to external investors after just four days, following widespread opposition and division.

FIFA has renounced its controversial plan to sell portions of the World Cup to external investors, acknowledging that the proposal has generated divisions that are not in the interest of the original goal. The plan, which was revealed by The Times on Tuesday, was abandoned after facing immediate backlash.

According to FIFA's statement, the organization decided to scrap the proposal after listening to various opinions, concluding that the divisions created by the project outweighed any potential benefits. The move comes as a significant retreat for FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who had championed the idea of bringing in external investment to expand the tournament's reach. sos-zagle.org.pl
