FIFA’s Infantino sets deadline for $20M offer to members in World Cup investor plan

European nations and UEFA are threatening to boycott the World Cup in protest of FIFA's $20 billion commercial spinoff plan. This move significantly impacts efforts to sell stakes in the venture. Meanwhile, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has established a September 19 deadline for 211 member federations to accept one-off $20 million offers. Such a boycott could destabilize global football economics, affecting private investments, sponsorships, and broadcasting rights across the international sporting landscape.
