Infantino meets FIFA leaders amid criticism over failed investment plan

Gianni Infantino convened FIFA executives in Morocco on August 5 to address increasing internal backlash surrounding his aborted plan to sell a minority stake in the organization. The proposal, aimed at raising billions, faced strong criticism from several FIFA executives, including Secretary General Mattias Grafstrom, who condemned it as a regrettable series of events. Infantino's meeting follows remarks from Prince Ali bin Al Hussein regarding FIFA's management of the recent World Cup and allegations of coercion for political support ahead of the upcoming presidential election in March 2027. FIFA has not publicly responded to these concerns.
