Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, has decided to abandon his controversial plan to create a $20 billion private investment firm that would control commercial rights to its events, including the World Cup. In a statement released late Friday, Infantinos stated that the project had created divisions that were no longer in the interest of the original objective. This decision puts the future of Infantoni, who is up for re-election for a fourth term at the FIFA Congress in March, at risk.
