FIFA’s Infantino Scraps Controversial World Cup Private Investment Plan FIFA President Gianni Infantino's decision to scrap his private investment plan for the World Cup has been met with a mix of relief and outrage across the football world.
The proposal, which aimed to raise up to $4. 2 billion by selling a 20% stake in a new unit that would run FIFA events, including the World Cup, was seen as an attempt to monetize the sport's most iconic event.
The backlash against Infantino's plan was swift and merciless.
