North and Central American football’s governing body CONCACAF on Saturday called for a “comprehensive reckoning with” Gianni Infantino’s leadership of FIFA after his aborted plan to allow private investment in the World Cup.
“This recent unilateral and egregious act of poor governance and leadership follows a pattern of missteps and similar behaviour,” CONCACAF said in a statement.
“A comprehensive reckoning with this presidency is imperative.”
Last week, world governing body FIFA had announced plans to create a commercial subsidiary which would run its biggest events, including the World Cup and Club World Cup.
This body would be open to minority private investment, under a plan which Infantino said would “turbocharge the development of the game globally” by raising up to $4.2 billion.
