Infantino's Relationship with Trump Under Fire
The plan, which was revealed last week, would have seen a chunk of the World Cup's revenue sold off to outside investors. However, the connection to the Trump family has attracted criticism, with The Guardian reporting that Joshua Kushner, the brother of the president's son-in-law, was involved in the deal.
Uefa Threatens Boycott
Uefa has vowed to "paralyse" Fifa until Infantino is gone, threatening to boycott Fifa tournaments, including the Under-20 Women's World Cup in Poland. The Confederation of African Football has pledged its support to Infantino, but Uefa's threat has put pressure on the organisation.
Backlash Against Infantino
Infantino's plan to sell the World Cup has been met with widespread opposition from within Fifa, with some members expressing concerns about the plan's legitimacy. The backlash has also damaged Infantino's reputation, with letters of support that had looked like they would ensure him a further term unopposed being withdrawn.
