UEFA Threatens World Cup Boycott Over FIFA Private Equity Investment Plan The latest controversy in world soccer centers on the financial machinations of governing body FIFA.
The organization's plan to sell a 20% stake in a new entity, FIFA Forward Enterprise, to private investors has sparked widespread outrage among its member associations, including UEFA and Concacaf.
At the heart of the issue is control. By selling a stake in FIFA Forward Enterprise, Infantino's team would cede power over key aspects of the game to private interests.
