FIFA Women's Football Faces Tournament Sale Threat

FIFA's controversial plan to sell stakes in its major tournaments, now abandoned, would have disproportionately impacted women's football. The proposal, detailed in a 25-page sales document, mentioned women's football just once despite its potential consequences for the sport.

The plan prompted strong opposition from UEFA, which stated European national teams would boycott FIFA competitions unless the proposal was completely abandoned with binding assurances against future private ownership of football governance. This stance represented a direct challenge to FIFA president Gianni Infantino and his vision for the sport's future. sweetbonan.org
