🚨 BOMBSHELL! Sky News exposes a massive FIFA scandle.

Infantino secretly planned to sell a $4.2B World Cup stake to private equity overseen by Joshua Kushner, brother of Trump's son-in-law Jared.

He also tried to launch a crypto venture with Trump's son. Pure corruption!

Foto sacada a unos 250 metros de mi casa. Tengo 2 niñas (de 3 y 7 años de edad) que he tenido practicamene que escoltar hasta el puerto porque junto con mi mujer para que las 3 se fueran a Málaga.

No es solo que en una ciudad de 80mil personas hayan entrado 50mil, no, es que van por las calles con katanas.

Ceuta no se merece esto.

This one is really dicey.

FIFA is registered as a non-profit association under Swiss law. Its 211 member associations own it. It pays no corporate tax in Switzerland. And right now, while the ink is barely dry on the 2026 World Cup final, it is in advanced discussions to sell a minority stake in its commercial operations to private investors, with JP Morgan acting as financial adviser and Thrive Capital, whose chief executive is Josh Kushner, expected to lead the investor group.

UEFA is responding. And I see reason with them. Their statement called it a crossing of a line and said the soul and governance of football are not assets to trade.

Let me explain what is actually happening here and why both positions are legally and commercially coherent at the same time.

The legal vehicle at the centre of this is called FIFA Forward Enterprise, or FFE. It is a FIFA-owned company that would consolidate all of FIFA's commercial rights, broadcasting, sponsorship, ticketing, licensing, and the operational delivery of FIFA tournaments, into a single entity.

Based on how things are proposed, FIFA would retain majority control and exclusive authority over governance, competitions, the match calendar, and all regulatory and sporting decisions.

Private investors would then hold a minority, non-controlling stake in the subsidiary, not in FIFA itself. FIFA says the proposal could deliver more than $10 billion in football development funding over the next four years.

Now here is the legal position.

Under Swiss association law, FIFA has broad autonomy over how it manages and commercialises its assets, provided it pursues its statutory purpose of promoting football and follows its internal decision-making rules.

Creating a commercial subsidiary and selling minority stakes in it to private investors is not categorically prohibited under any applicable law. FIFA already commercialises its rights aggressively through sponsorships, media deals, and licensing arrangements worth billions of dollars per cycle.

Placing some of that commercial activity into a valued vehicle and inviting outside capital is structurally an extension of what FIFA already does, not a departure from it. The proposal requires approval from the FIFA Council and the 211 member associations. That approval process is where the real legal constraints sit, not in Swiss corporate law.

What UEFA is objecting to is not the legality of the structure. They are objecting to the incentive architecture it creates once private capital is inside the tent. And again, that objection deserves to be taken seriously.

Even with formal majority control retained, private investors seeking returns will create ongoing pressure. They will request more matches, an expanded calendar. They will make decisions that prioritise revenue over player welfare or competitive balance.

Of course that pressure will not arrive through a boardroom vote. It arrives gradually, through the logic of what a return on investment requires. FIFA can retain exclusive authority over sporting decisions and still find that sporting decisions are shaped by the financial expectations of its commercial partners. Those are not mutually exclusive outcomes.

The legal permissibility of this structure is high if internal approvals are obtained. The binding constraints are member consent, political capital, and the risk that private capital incentives gradually reshape priorities even under retained formal control.

Football has watched that process play out at club level for thirty years. The question being asked right now, with genuine urgency, is whether the same dynamic should be allowed inside the institution that governs the game itself.

🚨🚨| NEW: UEFA statement in response to Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell World Cup stakes:

“This crosses a line that football’s governing institutions should never cross. UEFA takes it extremely seriously. So should every National Football Association.

So should every stakeholder: leagues, clubs, players, supporters, governments and everyone who cares about the future of the game.

“The soul and governance of football are not assets to trade - especially with zero transparency as to who gains financially. None of us are the owners of football. It is not FIFA’s to sell.”

😱 Unbelievable corruption alert:

England have been denied automatic qualification for Euro 2028 despite being co-hosts of the tournament, while Gianni Infantino has handed Argentina a place at the next World Cup simply by allowing them to host a single opening match.

Meanwhile, England will host teams from across Europe but must still earn their place through qualification.

Why is Messi and Argentina always involved in controversy?
