FIFA President Gianni Infantino Suspends World Cup Privatization Project

FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced that the organization has officially dropped its controversial plan to create a commercial subsidiary for the World Cup. The decision comes after careful listening to all opinions and realizing that the project caused deep divisions within the football community.

Infantino stated that the proposed subsidiary would no longer serve the initial objective regardless of the level of support it received. The governing body emphasized that its primary and enduring purpose has always been to unite and improve the sport globally.

Consequently, the commercialization proposal will not move forward, halting the restructuring process indefinitely. Football authorities and member associations have monitored the situation closely as the governing body reevaluates its strategic commercial priorities.
