FIFA to Share Documents Related to World Cup Sell-Off Plan

FIFA will give Council members access to key documents about Gianni Infantino’s abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal to sell stakes in future World Cups to private investors. The 37 members must arrange appointments to view selected papers in Zurich over the next two weeks under strict confidentiality rules; the documents will not be shared with the public. The announcement came after UEFA’s deadline for details about the $4.2 billion scheme, which was dropped in July following a worldwide backlash. UEFA is seeking to remove Infantino before or at FIFA’s March 18 presidential election in Rabat, where he is seeking a fourth term.
