FIFA President Gianni Infantino has officially withdrawn his controversial proposal to sell shares of the World Cup to private investors. The decision comes after the initiative sparked divisions within the international football community and made it clear that the move did not align with the interests of the various confederations.
The canceled plan had aimed to bring private investment into the tournament's structure. However, recognizing the lack of consensus among regional bodies, the leadership chose to scrap the proposal entirely to preserve unity within the organization.
