FIFA President Scraps Controversial World Cup Private Investment Stake Plan
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has officially abandoned a contentious proposal to sell a private investment stake in the FIFA World Cup.

Critics argued that selling a portion of the tournament's commercial rights to private investors would compromise the sport's integrity and long-term financial independence. By withdrawing the plan, FIFA aims to address the widespread backlash and stabilize internal relations, though the governing body remains under pressure to explore new revenue streams without alienating its global base.
