UK Prime Minister urges Infantino to step down

Pressures are mounting on FIFA President Gianni Infantino following British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's call for his resignation, due to the federation’s plan to sell a stake in the commercial rights to the World Cup for approximately $4.2 billion. Sunak described this plan as disgraceful and damaging to the sporting stature of the tournament, emphasizing that the World Cup is not a commercial commodity that can be traded, but a sporting legacy that belongs to the fans. The crisis also saw the resignation of Infantino's chief advisor, Carlos Cordero, in protest against the sale, affirming that the World Cup is not for sale and its value as a global sporting event must be protected.
