Infantino calls key FIFA staff meeting - report

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has called an emergency staff meeting in Rabat, Morocco, on Wednesday, amid mounting pressure following controversy over a withdrawn plan to seek private investment in a company to run the World Cup. The meeting will include secretary general Mattias Grafstrom and the FIFA management board, comprising senior figures such as chief legal officer Emilio Garcia Silvero and media director Bryan Swanson. Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, FIFA's chief of global football development, separately issued a statement distancing himself from the investment plan while calling its withdrawal 'absolutely necessary and beyond question.'
