Infantino Faces FIFA Council After Scrapped World Cup Sale Plan Threatens His Presidency

Gianni Infantino faces FIFA's 37-member Council on Wednesday after FIFA scrapped a plan to sell World Cup commercial rights to private investors. Reuters reports the head of European Leagues called his position "untenable." Infantino, unopposed in 2019 and 2023, now faces the first real threat to his presidency, with Concacaf's Victor Montagliani seen as a likely challenger.
