England's Football Association said Wednesday it was "deeply concerned about the lack of process and governance" after FIFA confirmed plans to sell stakes in its major competitions.
The sport's world governing body on Tuesday announced proposals to set up a commercial subsidiary to run events, which would reportedly have links to the extended family of US President Donald Trump.
The announcement produced a furious backlash from European football's governing body UEFA, which insisted the World Cup was not an "asset to trade".
