Infantino gives FIFA nations 53-day deadline to back World Cup stake sale or face 75% funding cut

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has given all 211 member associations a 53-day deadline to back plans to sell 20-30% of FIFA’s commercial rights to private investors. Nations supporting the proposal could access up to $40 million each from 2027, while opponents could receive 75% less funding, Infantino said. UEFA has publicly objected to Infantino's proposal.
