Angleterre : le Premier ministre tacle Gianni Infantino et défend les valeurs du football
The reform project envisioned by FIFA president Gianni Infantino continues to generate intense controversy. According to information published by the Financial Times, the head of the world governing body is considering creating a commercial company to manage certain FIFA assets, before selling some of them to private investors.
This initiative, already denounced by several figures in European football, is also provoking a strong political reaction. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has firmly expressed his opposition, arguing that football should under no circumstances become a mere financial asset.
In a message posted on the social network X, the British Prime Minister reminded everyone that this sport belongs first and foremost to its fans. "Football doesn't belong to investors. It belongs to those who fill the stands and support their teams every week, whatever the circumstances," he stated.
Andy Burnham also emphasized the unique nature of the World Cup, which he considers a universal sporting heritage. According to him, opening his operation to investment funds would be a betrayal of football's values. "The World Cup is not a product to be sold. As soon as you give away a part of it, you renounce what it represents. Football belongs to the fans, it always has, and it always will," he concluded.
