Fifa’s shameful scheme to sell off World Cup is gravest existential threat to football yet – but will anyone stop it?

FIFA is pursuing a plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, a move that has been described as 'football's nuclear bomb' and met with widespread horror across the sport. The scheme, reported by The Independent's Miguel Delaney, is being framed as the gravest existential threat football has faced. FIFA's member associations are now being urged to take a stand and block the proposal before it can be enacted.
