AFC joins Uefa and Concacaf in opposing Fifa plan

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has joined Uefa and Concacaf in opposing FIFA president Gianni Infantino's controversial plan to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors. The AFC stated on Friday that it 'stands in solidarity' with its European and North/Central American counterparts, and warned that the proposal could not 'realistically achieve the necessary broad consensus.' The opposition from three major confederations puts Infantino's plans in serious jeopardy.
