FIFA Denies 'Selling Football' as AFC Joins Opposition to Plan The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has joined UEFA and CONCACAF in opposition to FIFA's plan to sell stakes in a World Cup commercial entity to private investors.
This move marks a significant turning point in the FIFA governance saga, with even some of Gianni Infantino's closest allies questioning his leadership.
FIFA responded to criticism by stating that "nobody is selling football" and that the proposed establishment of FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) aims to give member associations a greater share in commercial opportunities.
