FIFA Women's Football Faces Tournament Sale Threat

FIFA's failed proposal to sell stakes in major tournaments would have severely impacted women's football, sparking backlash from UEFA.

FIFA's aborted plan to sell stakes in its major tournaments would have heavily impacted women's football, despite minimal mention in the proposal. Women's football became the frontline in the fight for football's soul under Gianni Infantino's tenure.
