20211
FIFA apologized to its 211 member federations for planning to sell the commercial rights of the Mundial, a plan that was ultimately rejected. The leadership of FIFA President Gianni Infantino was questioned by UEFA.
Following a crisis meeting in Morocco, FIFA reaffirmed its support for Infantino's leadership. Last week, a plan to sell 20% of the commercial rights of the Mundial to investment companies linked to the Kushner family was withdrawn.
This crisis could make it difficult for Infantino to be re-elected as FIFA president for the fourth time.
