Content overview: “Gianni Infantino braces for explosive Fifa council grilling over World Cup sell-off, Balog”. Fifa president Gianni Infantino faces a potentially explosive meeting with the Fifa council on Thursday in Zurich, where he will be grilled over his role in the aborted World Cup sell-off plan, the Folarin Balogun affair, and the controversial decision to award Donald Trump the inaugural Fifa peace prize. Council members are expected to press for an independent review of the World Cup sell-off proposals, which were shelved after widespread backlash. The meeting marks the first time Infantino has faced his critics since rejecting calls for an extraordinary general meeting over the summer.
With one attendee predicting the talks could be “explosive,” the session could shape Infantino’s leadership and Fifa’s governance. The outcome may determine whether Fifa adopts greater transparency or continues under its current leadership. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
