Premier League chief says Infantino hit ‘self-destruct’ button with World Cup plan
Richard Masters says the FA has taken the right position on Gianni Infantino after withdrawing its support for the Fifa president.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has criticized Fifa president Gianni Infantino for pushing a plan to sell a stake in the World Cup. Masters argues that this move was a grave mistake for the not-for-profit organization, as it should be holding the competition in trust for the future of football. The FA and UEFA have both expressed disapproval of Infantino's actions, with the FA announcing Kevin Lamour's resignation as Fifa's chief operating officer.
Masters believes this situation is self-inflicted, and the consequences of this decision now affect the solutions that need to be found. He further emphasized that an emerging unity candidate for Infantino's re-election should focus on reforming Fifa and the president's role.
