00:00Uefa, AFC, and CONCACAF
00:02have renewed their criticism
00:03of FIFA president Johnny Infantino
00:05over the abandoned plan
00:07to sell a 20% stake
00:09in World Cup commercial rights
00:10to private investors.
00:12In an open letter,
00:14the three confederations
00:15called for an independent review
00:16of the proposal
00:17and accused Infantino
00:19of breaking trust
00:20and putting himself
00:21above the collective interests
00:23of football.
00:24The plan aimed to raise
00:26around $4.2 billion
00:28but was abandoned
00:30after widespread opposition.
00:32The three confederations
00:33have threatened to boycott
00:35FIFA tournaments
00:36unless they receive assurances
00:37that similar proposals
00:39will not be made again.
00:40They are also examining
00:42the possibility
00:43of organizing competitions
00:44among themselves
00:45amid the ongoing dispute
00:47with FIFA.
00:48U.S. soccer,
00:50Canada soccer,
00:51and regional football bodies
00:52backed calls for greater governance,
00:54transparency,
00:55and accountability at FIFA.
00:57Despite the criticism,
00:59Infantino continues
01:00to have strong support
01:01from several AFC nations,
01:04Mexico,
01:05CAF,
01:06and a number
01:06of South American countries.
01:08FIFA said
01:09attempts to challenge Infantino
01:11must follow its statutes
01:12and democratic procedures.
01:15Almost 70 member associations
01:17have publicly said
01:18they will support him
01:19in next year's presidential election.
01:21The three confederations
01:23said Infantino's apology
01:25for mistakes
01:25was not enough,
01:27arguing that the proposal itself
01:29represented a fundamental
01:30breach of trust.
