Arsene Wenger has come under scrutiny for his role in FIFA's controversial proposal to sell the World Cup. This has led to him distancing himself from the proposal, as he asserts he was not involved in its creation. Wenger, who has been a FIFA representative since leaving his position at Arsenal in 2018, now clarifies his responsibilities and role within the organization.
He emphasizes that his work focuses on football development, including data analysis, online training, youth education, and competitions, rather than strategic planning. Wenger maintains his belief in an independent FIFA that upholds commitment, transparency, and integrity.
