Since this report aired, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has withdrawn his plans to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors. In a statement, Infantino said: "Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place."
Infantino, the gravedigger of football. It is high time he left.
I don't think he said he wasn't consulted at all. He said questions weren't answered.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 GOOD! Oust him anyway.
Trump and his family have something big on Infantino. How many times will this guy bend over before FIFA boots him
Infantino -> Outfantino!
Gianni In"fraud"tino
I hope the UEFA president became a candidate for the
FIFA presidency he looks like a decent guy.
Corrupt people need to be locked up!
make infantinope an example, he should be gone
똑같은 놈들. 자신들이 뽑아 놓고 뭔 소리? 저런 인간일 줄 모르고 회장으로 추대했나? 어리석은 건지 알고도 모른 척 하는 건지. 유유상종이라 했다. 무슨 뜻인지 모르면 한국어로 찾아 봐. 이미 FIFA란 기구는 거대한 부패 암덩어리란 말이지. 완전히 도려내지 않으면 다 죽어. FIFA를 없애고 각자도생으로 대륙별로 알아서 운영하라고. 월드컵은 굳이 할 필요도 없고 하고 싶으면 모든 회원국이 다 참가해서 다양한 나라에서 축제처럼 열면 그만인 게지.
He's corrupt , we see it the moment he gave a " peace prize " to orange man !
Trump’s nauseating tactics applied to FIFA.
Except that, here, the whole world can vote.
Now watch Trump turn his back at Infatino if he loses his position
Abolish FIFA!
The whole fifa world cup has been corrupt since he gave his pal the peace prize they made up. You know they were talking one night and this idea was cooked up.
I think he needs to go and his mate Donny.
Give this crook the FIFA Sleaze Prize.
Too late he must be replace for a better person that cares about the sport and all the teams around the world. All the Fifa should be protected by all the countries as a sport. Fired Infantino. ASAP.
Let's get rid of this clown ASAP
UEFA or someone needs to put somebody forward, fans need this back, it's not for grovelling, greedy, self-indulgent persons to ruin and rob the fanbase! The biggest sport in the world is getting cancerous leader after leader!
He needs to go and he needs to forfeit any bonuses
Infantile is a bollock – get rid of him for Footballs sake!!
1:43 makes sense for the shady president cuz I'm sure that sale would boost his bonus also probly had backroom deals to get paid under the table more
He has become the face of corruption, he needs to go!
seconds ago
FIFA has a decades long history of organized criminality including kidnapping, torture, and murder.
Of course he should resign . Hes in Trumps pocket plus the red card incident and no consultation with his colleagues regarding the wotld cup suggests corruption at the highest level.
Outfantino!
Sack him he doesn’t have the best interests of the World Game.. NO AMERICANS EVER NEAR FIFA grifters . Cheers Australia 🤬🤬🤬🤬
FIFA’s reputation has been in freefall for years, even as football’s popularity keeps rising and spreading worldwide. Through all of this, he felt untouchable. The constant awarding of honors to presidents, the shameless boot‑licking, and the overturning of red cards just because someone called in — it’s more than enough for him to pack up, take the money, change his name, disappear into the desert, and start a new life.
Infantino tried to sell Football's crown jewels for pennies to his buddies, corruption investigations need to be launched
Mafioso since day one. Last fifa director crook and all country federations arrested by usa. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How can fifa sell football sky have already bought it.
Corruption is entrenched in the FIFA culture. The “red card incident” should have been a red flag. Leadership days should be numbered.
It's quite obvious where his idea came from, he's been hanging round with the big orange baby
Everything Trump touches gets torched. Infainto needs to resign.
He should be gone already. Nothing but a Trump lapdog.
Infantino needs to be given the order of the Boot!!! Out!!!
Infantino needs to go. Why is that so hard?
Infantino should be arrested for fraud and embezzlement… If any governments cared enough about futbol
This Humpty Dumpty is beyond corrupt. He's a boot 🥾 👢 🥾 licker 👅
Gianni Infantino should not simply resign; he should be removed from FIFA. His so-called Peace Prize, the red-card controversy, and his attempt to sell a stake in the World Cup to a private investment group linked to Joshua Kushner have made one thing clear: he has politicized the office of the FIFA president, abandoning the neutrality that the role demands. FIFA deserves an independent leader—not a political one.
Trump's in-law acolytes are why now. When you hear Trump denying knowledge, you know he's behind a crooked deal; let's not be naive. FIFA’s non-profit, remember!
he fifaed that up didnt he
Today I feel…. rejected.
Today I feel…. alone
Today I feel… without a job.
One thing is the peace prize, a truly absurd thing, and that other gold thin he gave Trump a year ago, but the red card affair was overstepping. WTF does Trump have to do with football?
I don't care about Trump nor democrats I actually don't care about American.
Infantino Must Go! Football demands that genuine love and care for the sport and it’s supporters would do! 0 tolerance for Corruption!!!!!
Our African football chiefs are quite coz of $30M offer
Hes toast…
