FIFA crisis timeline: From World Cup final to global standoff

Wait 5 sec.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino proposed selling a stake in World Cup future which sparked global revolt. Regional confederations like UEFA and CONCACAF criticized the move, calling it unacceptable. Infantino later scrapped the plan after facing widespread opposition and criticism from football bodies. Several nations withdrew support for Infantino's leadership following the governance failure. FIFA apologized for mistakes and announced a review of the abandoned proposal process.
