  • The Proposal: FIFA president Gianni Infantino plans to establish a $20billion (£15bn) commercial subsidiary to oversee major competitions, selling shares to private investors and national member associations.
  • UEFA’s Resistance: UEFA strongly condemned the commercial plan, stating the “soul and governance of football are not assets to trade” and warning FIFA that the proposal crosses a line that governing institutions must never cross.
  • Boycott Threat: European football nations representing UEFA’s 55 member countries are holding emergency meetings and considering the ultimate step of a World Cup boycott if Infantino fails to abandon the sell-off.
  • Political and Fan Backlash: Prime Minister Andy Burnham branded FIFA “sell-outs”, insisting football belongs to fans, while supporter groups argued tournament ownership was never for sale.
  • Investors and Leadership Gains: Thrive Eternal, led by Josh Kushner, was announced as lead investor, while critics point out Infantino could potentially transition into a commissioner role earning millions annually.
