FIFA Abandons World Cup Commercialization Plan

FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed in a statement early today that the organization has decided against creating a subsidiary to commercialize the World Cup. The decision comes after the proposal "created divisions of such a nature that, regardless of the level of support, it no longer benefits the initially stated objective," according to FIFA's communication.

"Our purpose has always been, and will always be, to unite and improve," Infantino emphasized. "In consequence, this proposal will not proceed." sweetbonanza.qpon
