Prem chief: FIFA has hit 'self-destruct button'

Premier League CEO Richard Masters has publicly criticised FIFA president Gianni Infantino over plans to sell a minority stake in FIFA tournaments, including the World Cup, to private investors, calling it a 'self-inflicted wound' and accusing the organisation of pressing the 'self-destruct button'. Masters voiced his support for the English FA's withdrawal of backing for Infantino, and condemned the idea of a not-for-profit organisation selling off a stake in the World Cup. He also called for a potential rival candidate in next year's FIFA presidential election to make organisational reform a central agenda item.
