FIFA : sous pression, Gianni Infantino renonce au projet d’investissements privés
FIFA is backtracking. The world football governing body announced on Friday that it is abandoning its plan to open some of its major competitions to private investment.
Presented as a way to bolster the organization's financial resources, this initiative sparked numerous negative reactions within international football. Several officials and institutions expressed their reservations, particularly fearing the consequences of increased involvement of private investors in FIFA competitions.
Faced with this opposition, FIFA President Gianni Infantino finally decided to abandon the project. In a statement, the Italian-Swiss leader explained that the organization's priority remained preserving the unity of world football.
“Our goal has always been—and always will be—to unite and improve,” said Gianni Infantino. He also confirmed that the controversial proposal would ultimately not be implemented.
This decision comes after several critical stances from major football bodies, which had expressed their concerns about the governance and future financing of international competitions.
With this withdrawal, FIFA is now trying to move on from a project that has caused significant tension in just a few weeks. The organization will have to continue seeking new sources of funding while reassuring its partners and the various confederations of its commitment to preserving the balance of world football.
