Summary

But it looks like the organisation's current boss, Gianni Infantino, has pushed things a bit too far. He's been dealt a huge blow in his bid to sell stakes in the soccer World Cup to private investors. Fifty-five European countries have now promised to boycott all FIFA competitions if the proposal goes ahead.
