British Prime Minister Andy Burnham calls for FIFA President Gianni Infantino to step down, saying Infantino is “the wrong man” to lead the organisation following backlash over a World Cup proposal. Multiple outlets report that Burnham criticises the idea, described as “outrageous,” that FIFA could sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors. The criticism comes amid growing scrutiny of Infantino’s proposals within football governance. The Guardian and other reports say the controversy triggers backlash among football bodies and leads to the resignation of a key adviser, identified as Carlos Cordeiro. Burnham is reported as arguing that the controversy should not be treated as something that can be quickly moved past. He is also presented as suggesting Infantino should follow the adviser’s lead in resigning. The reports describe Burnham’s intervention as notable within UK politics, with him positioned as the first head of a major nation to publicly call for Infantino’s replacement. The FIFA World Cup stakeholder plan is described across sources as controversial and, in some accounts, abandoned.
