## Resource

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has scrapped a controversial $4 billion private investment plan for the World Cup after fierce backlash from UEFA and other confederations, who called it a secretive, self-serving deal. The proposal, meant to fund member nations and boost global football, instead fueled division and eroded trust — especially as Infantino’s re-election bid now looks shaky amid accusations of broken promises on transparency. With UEFA threatening boycotts and others demanding inclusive dialogue, Infantino pivoted, pledging to reunite stakeholders around grassroots growth — but the fallout underscores a deepening crisis in FIFA’s governance and financial ethics.
