Fifpro demands Fifa Council probe amid Infantino World Cup sell-off row

Fifpro, the global footballers’ union, has demanded an independent review of the Fifa Council’s powers. This request follows reports that the Council was sidelined by Gianni Infantino during his World Cup sell-off plan. Although Infantino eventually abandoned the plan due to widespread criticism, Fifpro is seeking accountability. Additionally, new research published by the union indicates that the vast majority of the value generated during this year’s World Cup was derived from Europe, further fueling the current row.
