BREAKING: Gianni Infantino has scrapped World Cup investment plan admitting the project had created divisions and was no longer in the interest of its original objective. 🚨
We stand shoulder to shoulder with our European colleagues and fully support the collective view.
We oppose FIFA’s plans. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football and always will.

BREAKING: UEFA will boycott FIFA tournaments if Gianni Infantino goes ahead with his proposal to sell off a stake in the World Cup 🚨
The decision was taken at an emergency meeting of all UEFA’s 55 member associations this afternoon.
Argentina did their best to kick us off the pitch in 66 when we beat them 1-0. Nothing changes and i am so glad Spain beat them. Any other result would have been a travesty. Rodri superb & cuccagna outstanding .
Whether you were in Dallas, Boston, New York, Atlanta, Mexico City, Miami or back home, you played an incredible role in our @FIFAWorldCup journey.
THANK YOU! 👏❤️🏴
More history 👏
Jude Bellingham's seven goals at this tournament makes him the highest scoring #ThreeLions player in a single @FIFAWorldCup campaign! ⚽️
Giovani Lo Celso has brought out a banner saying ‘Las Malvinas son Argentinas’ — ‘The Malvinas are Argentine.’
He held it with Nicolas Otamendi and then briefly put it away before laying it out on the pitch at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Las Malvinas is the term used in Argentina for the Falkland Islands, a British dependency which lies about 300 miles (480 km) off the east coast of mainland Argentina.
In 1982, Argentina’s military government invaded in an attempt to take the territory from the United Kingdom. The conflict lasted from April 2 to June 14 and ended with an Argentine surrender. In all, three civilians, 255 British and 649 Argentine troops died.
The Athletic has contacted FIFA for comment.
