UEFA Declares No Confidence in FIFA President Infantino, World Cup Private Equity Plan Scrapped

UEFA has announced a loss of confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino following his abandoned plan to sell stakes of the World Cup to private equity investors. The European football governing body stated that 'no option should be off the table' as it pursues a full review of the now-scrapped proposal. Infantino was forced to withdraw the plan after widespread opposition from UEFA, CONCACAF, the Asian Football Confederation, and the resignation of a senior adviser.
