Gianni Infantino has apologised to the Fifa Council over a plan described as a sell-off of the World Cup, but members told him that his response did not go far enough and that he was still not fit to lead the organisation.
The apology was made to the Fifa Council, although the supplied information does not give details of when or where the meeting took place. It also does not specify the precise features of the World Cup plan or explain the concerns raised by council members.
Infantino remains at the centre of the dispute following criticism of the proposal. The council’s response indicates that the apology did not resolve its concerns about his leadership or the plan itself.
No further details about the council’s demands, Infantino’s next steps or the future of the proposal are provided.
