Infantile Infantino should exit for trying to sell the World Cup, by Owei Lakemfa

Gianni Infantino, the Federation Internationale de Football Association, FIFA President who stole into office about a dozen years ago on the back of a coup against Sepp Blatter, may be on his way out. He has become like an orphan caught with his hand in the till. The 2026 World Cup had been quite successful. It has also been a commercial success, with FIFA raking in a record revenue of $13 billion to $15 billion. The World Cup, which had thirteen teams at inception, has expanded to a record 48 teams and a total of 104 matches. This has led to high-volume ticket sales. Broadcasting rights alone in 2026 generated about $4.2 billion. Sponsorship and hospitality added to the income.
