ELI10:
FIFA's president, Gianni Infantino, has backed away from a plan to bring in private investors. Critics worried this would lead to "merchandising" soccer and create conflicts of interest. Infantino announced the plan was being dropped, stating it caused "divisions." He also mentioned being weakened by his chief advisor's recent resignation. This decision aims to unite and advance the sport, avoiding the risks associated with private investment.
