FIFA ditches plan to seek private investment for World Cup

FIFA has abandoned its plan to seek private investment for the World Cup. President Gianni Infantino expressed his intention to bring all interested parties back together after the proposal to sell off parts of the tournament collapsed. While some reports attribute this failure to the hubris and greed of Infantino, the organization is now shifting its focus toward reuniting stakeholders to manage the event without the previously envisioned private investment structure for the global competition.
