The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has publicly expressed its support for UEFA and CONCACAF regarding their opposition to FIFA’s plan to sell a commercial stake in the World Cup’s business operations. This move signals growing dissent among football's continental bodies concerning FIFA’s proposal. The AFC cited “serious concerns” as the reason for aligning with the European and North/Central American federations. Details of these concerns were not immediately available, but the opposition suggests potential issues with transparency or the long-term impact on the game. This unified front from three major confederations puts pressure on FIFA to address the objections. The development highlights a significant challenge to FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s plans and could reshape the future of World Cup commercialization. The story originated from Vanguard News.
