FIFA Scraps World Cup Sell Off Plans, Infantino Says The sudden reversal of plans to sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors has left many wondering what drove Gianni Infantino's decision.

Critics argue that the project was widely criticized for mortgaging football's future without sufficient justification.
