Infantino holds crisis talks in Rabat as UEFA and Concacaf rebel over World Cup sell-off

FIFA president Gianni Infantino held crisis talks in Rabat on 5 August 2026 with general secretary Mattias Grafström and chief legal officer Emilio García Silvero. The trigger: a proposal to sell 21% of the World Cup, which sparked a UEFA- and Concacaf-led rebellion. Neither Caf nor Conmebol has joined the revolt. Infantino faces re-election at FIFA's Rabat congress in March 2027.
