Fifa proposes selling World Cup stakes to private investors amid backlash

Fifa announced a plan to sell minority stakes in the World Cup to private investors, which has faced widespread criticism. Member associations are under pressure to oppose this move, described as 'football’s nuclear bomb' by critics. The proposal, part of Fifa's new enterprise programme, raises concerns about the long-term implications for football governance and community ownership. Uefa has voiced its opposition, calling the move a crossing of a line, but it remains unclear if they will take decisive action against it.
