FIFA has announced that members of its ruling Council will be granted access to view select documents pertaining to President Gianni Infantino's previously failed plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. This decision comes after considerable scrutiny and a lack of transparency surrounding the initiative.
The move to partially release these confidential documents marks a significant shift in FIFA's approach to disclosing information about its financial dealings. Previously, details of Infantino's proposed sell-off plan were kept under wraps, leading to speculation and criticism. The organization has also faced questions regarding executive compensation, with reports indicating that Infantino himself received undisclosed tax benefits.
