Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger 'not aware' of Infantino's FIFA plan
FIFA executive Arsene Wenger supports the decision to abandon FIFA President Gianni Infantino's plan to sell off the World Cup.
Arsene Wenger, the former Arsenal manager who now serves as a FIFA executive, has stated that he was not informed about FIFA President Gianni Infantino's proposed plan to sell off the World Cup. Wenger has expressed his support for the decision to drop this initiative.
The announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about the future of international football competitions. While the specifics of Infantino's proposal have not been fully disclosed, it is understood to involve the commercial sale of the World Cup. Wenger, who spent over two decades as Arsenal's head coach and remains one of the most respected figures in football, is now part of FIFA's leadership structure.
The rejection of the plan suggests that FIFA may continue with the traditional format for organizing the World Cup. Wenger's admission that he was unaware of Infantino's idea raises questions about internal communication within the organization. However, his backing of the decision indicates that he did not view the proposal favorably.
This development could have implications for FIFA's future policies and the relationships among its top officials. Further statements from Wenger and other FIFA executives are anticipated. As of now, no additional details have been officially provided by those involved.
