FIFA Plans $20 Billion World Cup Stake Sale

FIFA President Gianni Infantino is planning to create a $20 billion company running the World Cup with private investors including the Kushner family, selling a significant minority stake.

The initiative is part of a financial scheme that could generate millions in revenue, with Infantino reportedly plotting the move after talks with Donald Trump.

UEFA has reacted furiously, issuing a statement condemning the proposals and warning of ruptures in world football governance.

The plan would see FIFA retain majority control while selling shares partly to each of FIFA's 211 national associations.
