UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has publicly expressed his disapproval of Gianni Infantino, stating that he is the 'wrong man' to lead FIFA, amid growing criticism over the organization's plans to sell stakes in its competitions, including the World Cup, to private investors. Burnham's remarks have intensified the pressure on Infantino, following the resignation of a key advisor, Carlos Cordeiro, who described the proposal as a 'bad deal for football.' The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has joined UEFA and CONCACAF in opposing the plan, calling for an urgent review of FIFA's governance. In response to the backlash, FIFA has insisted that 'nobody is selling football,' but the controversy continues to escalate, with some speculating that Infantino's position as president may be at risk.
