>According to media reports, the senior advisor to FIFA President Gianni Infantino (56) has resigned in protest against plans to sell shares in the World Cup. Carlos Cordeiro reportedly stated that the plan would be bad for soccer. >"As a senior advisor to the FIFA President, a former banker, and a lifelong soccer fan, I cannot stand idly by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup. Let me make one thing clear: I was in no way involved in this proposal and firmly oppose it. It is a bad deal for FIFA’s member associations, a bad deal for soccer, and a bad deal for the long-term future of this sport.>“Soccer plays a central role in my life, and after more than 35 years in banking, I understand both the value of this asset and the consequences of giving up a portion of it. That is why this proposal should be rejected.”HEH
AFC has rejected the proposal too
