SportsInfantino’s senior adviser resigns over FIFA private investment plan

Carlos Cordeiro, a senior adviser to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, has resigned in protest at a proposal to attract private investment for the World Cup. Cordeiro said the plan would “mortgage football’s future.” Opposition is growing, with European football associations considering a boycott, alongside CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation. FIFA is offering $40 million to every country that supports the project.
