FIFPRO condemns Infantino over botched World Cup stake sale plans

The world players' union FIFPRO has condemned FIFA president Gianni Infantino for what it calls an abuse of presidential power, following his failed World Cup stake sale plans. UEFA has also doubled down on its boycott stance. The dispute marks a significant public rupture between football's governing bodies and the players' union. A coordinated challenge to FIFA's leadership from both the global players' union and UEFA represents an unusual and serious alignment of opposition to Infantino at the top of the game.
