Carlos Cordeiro, senior advisor to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, resigns immediately following a proposal connected to FIFA selling a stake in the World Cup. According to Free Malaysia Today, Cordeiro says he cannot stand by while FIFA considers the plan, and he steps down from his role. Channel NewsAsia reports the resignation, citing the same trigger: a proposal to sell a stake tied to the World Cup. The reports present Cordeiro’s departure as linked directly to FIFA’s consideration of the stake-sale idea, without detailing further specifics of the proposal, its proposed terms, or whether FIFA has advanced it to formal approval. The outlets also do not describe an alternative course of action that Cordeiro says he would support. As of the reports, the resignation is framed as immediate and personal, based on Cordeiro’s stated inability to endorse FIFA’s consideration of selling a stake in the World Cup.
