World Cup rocked to core as rogue coup takes shape over $29 billion plot
Knives are reportedly being sharpened behind the most powerful figure in sport’s back with extraordinary details leaking out.

In a huge escalation of the international football wars taking place, Europe’s governing body UEFA has pledged to boycott the World Cup should FIFA press ahead with its private investor plan.

FIFA’s announcement this week it planned to create a US$20 billion ($28 billion) private company to run its major tournaments and sell stakes to private investors has sent shockwaves through the sport.

UEFA’s threat on Thursday could mean World Cup winners Spain would not compete at the next tournament in four years’ time.

The outlook for FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his grand plan to essentially sell off stakes in the World Cup via the proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise is becoming increasingly bleak.

After UEFA announced that its 55 member nations had agreed to boycott all FIFA competitions as a symbol of their rejection of Infantino’s proposal, CONCACAF, the governing body of North American, Central American, and Caribbean soccer comprising 41 nations, has now followed suit. As such, a total of 96 of FIFA’s 211 member nations have now openly turned down the plan, something which will likely lead to questions surrounding Infantino’s future.
