Fifa presents… the 128-team Coca-Cola 2036 World Cup, powered by Aramco and co-hosted by the United States and Saudi Arabia.
Genuinely: maybe.
Football should not be Gianni Infantino’s to sell and yet the Fifa president has set about seismic plans to change the game as we know it.
On Tuesday it emerged Fifa intends to “expand football development” by selling a minority stake in a new company – Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) – that would run events including the World Cup and Club World Cup.
The sell-off would supposedly increase funding for every Fifa nation, with associations warned they will be denied a slice of the pie if they oppose the plans.
