A close advisor to FIFA President Gianni Infantino has resigned following the unveiling of plans to sell commercial rights to the World Cup. Carlos Cordeiro publicly denounced the proposal, stating it was a "bad plan for football" and detrimental to its future. The move signals internal dissent regarding the proposed commercial strategy for the sport’s premier tournament. Details of the rights sale remain largely undisclosed, but Cordeiro's resignation highlights significant concerns about its potential impact. His departure underscores a growing debate over the commercialization of football and its long-term consequences. This disagreement could potentially lead to further scrutiny of FIFA’s financial dealings and governance. The resignation is a significant blow to Infantino, losing a key ally in the process.
