The questions I would ask Fifa boss Gianni Infantino if we met again

FIFA’s plans for a proposed “Fifa Forward Enterprise” proposal have been pulled back after mounting internal and external pressure, according to statements attributed to Gianni Infantino. An earlier claim from FIFA said “Nobody is selling football” and that such a concept would not be entertained. Nonetheless, reported friction continued, including the resignation of Infantino’s senior adviser and statements from FIFA’s chief operating officer claiming FIFA staff had been “deceived” and that the project was “of one person.” By Saturday morning, FIFA issued another short statement, attributed to Infantino, saying the proposal would no longer proceed.
