@ReutersAfrica African Football Admin 🤔 After how their countries were treated at the World Cup 🙄 African Referee African Players African Fans - How can they even consider supporting Infantino‼️ @CAF_Online Have no integrity left if they back him 🙄 #CAF
🚨JUST IN: Former French Sports Minister Marie-George admitted drug testing for the French team was suspended ahead of the 1998 World Cup
France went on to win the tournament
FIFA’s decision to put the proposal on hold does not end the conversation around supporting smaller football associations.
The debate has highlighted an important reality: many of FIFA’s 211 member associations continue to face financial challenges and require stronger support to develop infrastructure, improve training programmes, and grow the game.
The focus now should be on finding sustainable solutions that are carefully evaluated, widely supported, and capable of delivering long-term benefits for football worldwide.

1/11 - Infantino tentou o maior movimento financeiro da história da FIFA: vender uma fatia da Copa do Mundo para o private equity.
Em 72 horas, a UEFA votou boicotar o Mundial e outras duas confederações rejeitaram o plano.
Entenda o que ele fez — e por que pode ter rachado a FIFA.
@ChatackBruno En gestion de federation sportive internationale, l'appel d'offres est une regle stricte et inviolable. Infantino a fait du "gres a gres" comme dans une republique bananiere😅🤣
@ChatackBruno Evaluation fallacieuse car une Coupe du Monde FIFA a elle seule peut rapporter 15 milliards de dollars US (- frais de 4 milliards), donc 11 milliards de benefices. Qatar 2022 avait realise 7.5 mds.🤑🤑🤫🤫
🔴 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍:
FIFA has reportedly abandoned plans to bring private investors into the World Cup.
The proposed investment deal has fallen apart after potential backers withdrew, with JP Morgan also said to have stepped away.
Infantino’s controversial project has suffered a major setback. ❌

FFE Backlash: FIFA Is Self-Financing, It’s Hungry FAs That Want Investors - Adebajo
Look at the English FA and the English Premier League, which generates about £8 billion a year. What would they want with $20 million? Does that make any sense to them? Real Madrid recorded a turnover of €1.13 billion. These clubs and football organisations already generate enormous revenues on their own.
Tilewa Adebajo, Chairman, Stationary Stores Football Club
EXCLUSIVE: Spoke to four senior CAF figures who explain Africa's current position on Infantino WC idea:
✅️ CAF were not aware of Infantino's idea until it hit the media
✅️ Initially, members wanted $20m deal. Then things changed.
✅️ CAF not interested in choosing sides.
✅️ CAF leaning toward non-alignment: will NOT boycott Fifa competitions, neither will they follow Gianni. For now.
✅️ Uefa and Fifa are fighting over $$ and control. Any decision taken must position Africa to get more of both.
"We don't see any evidence of any political benefit for this support."
Osasu Obayiuwana, FIFA Anti-Racism Task Force (2013-2016), weighs in on Gianni Infantino’s controversial plans to sell the commercial rights to FIFA’s tournaments.

@ChrisSays01 Tell him to first conclude the financial report of WC FIFA 2026 and share the proceeds before engaging into a new venture without proper consultation & Due Diligence. This sports boss is a complete disaster 🤫🫣🥵🥺🥹
"Infantino is motivated by power, money and then football" 😤
Kaveh Solhekol believes that the proposal for FIFA to sell stakes in the World Cup could reach tipping point for Gianni Infantino, with many believing that 'enough is enough' 👀
