## Resource

It is probably an understatement to say that football's world governing body, FIFA, is no stranger to controversy. 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.
