FIFA’s controversial plan to sell stakes in a World Cup company has been dealt what appears to be a fatal blow after the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) joined UEFA and CONCACAF in rejecting it.
Gianni Infantino’s future as FIFA president now appears uncertain too, with the AFC statement also highlighting “fundamental weaknesses in FIFA’s consultation and decision-making processes that must now be addressed”.

Not a unanimous decision in this confederation, though, several AFC nations have not opposed FIFA’s plans. I believe the highest ranked is Australia, which took some pathetic “wait and see” position. Iraq and Indonesia are two I’ve read are in open support of FIFA.
I’m still waiting to hear Infantinos response. I don’t trust Trump’s family to not weasel their way into some bullshit.
