FIFA to share documents on World Cup sell-off plan with council
Summary

FIFA plans to allow its Council members to view documents regarding Gianni Infantino's proposed $4.2 billion plan to sell stakes in future World Cups. Access to these documents will be restricted to in-person appointments in Zurich over the next two weeks, with strict confidentiality protocols in place. This decision follows a July backlash that led to the proposal's cancellation. UEFA has set a deadline for FIFA to disclose these details after a recent tense council meeting where Infantino apologized but did not clarify how the idea was developed. UEFA is also taking steps to discuss Infantino's possible removal before the FIFA presidential election on March 18 in Morocco.
