SportsInfantino’s troubles mount as Wenger and key FIFA ally turn against him over World Cup stake plan

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is facing renewed criticism over his now-abandoned proposal to sell a stake in the World Cup. Secretary general Mattias Grafström and chief of global football development Arsene Wenger both criticised the plan. Infantino had been expected to seek a fourth term without opposition, but fresh challengers could emerge when he stands for election next March. The setback adds to pressure on his leadership.
