## Resource

FIFA’s bold $20 billion plan to privatize the World Cup collapsed in a firestorm of backlash, as UEFA and other global soccer bodies united against FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s secretive deal. With top advisors quitting and regional confederations withdrawing support, the project unraveled amid growing criticism that it was an overreach by one man. This isn’t Infantino’s first failed gamble — past proposals for new tournaments and biennial World Cups also fizzled — but this latest fallout could reshape his political future ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
