FIFA President Gianni Infantino announces a plan to create a new $20 billion company to run the World Cup, drawing immediate criticism from UEFA. According to reports, the proposed operation would involve private investors, including members of the Kushner family, as part of the planned financing and ownership structure. UEFA responds with a formal statement saying the proposal is not within FIFA’s authority to sell or transfer, and emphasizes that football governance does not belong to FIFA alone. The European federation also argues that “none of us are the owners of football,” positioning the plan as inconsistent with how football is collectively administered by the sport’s governing bodies. The announcement is reported as occurring Tuesday, with UEFA’s reaction following quickly. The coverage presents the dispute as a confrontation over control and ownership of football competitions and commercial rights, with FIFA advancing a private-investment model for the tournament’s management and UEFA contesting FIFA’s role in structuring such an arrangement.
