European football’s governing body, UEFA, is considering legal action against FIFA president Gianni Infantino and Joshua Kushner over a withdrawn plan to sell a stake in the commercial operations of the World Cup. Sources indicate that UEFA has raised the possibility of litigation regarding the proposal, which sparked significant backlash in Brussels.
The initiative aimed to privatize part of the World Cup's commercial activities but was ultimately abandoned. While details surrounding the legal threats remain limited, UEFA’s move signals strong opposition to Infantino’s plan and its potential implications for European football. No right-leaning outlets have reported on this development. The situation underscores a growing rift between UEFA and FIFA leadership over the future direction of international football commerce.
The withdrawn proposal leaves unresolved whether alternative commercial strategies will be pursued for the World Cup, or if this marks a definitive end to efforts to attract external investment into its operations.
