FIFA President Gianni Infantino will continue in his role after a recent crisis meeting addressing the organization's controversial proposal to open the World Cup to private investment. FIFA's leadership apologized for the plan, which has now been scrapped amid widespread criticism.
The decision to halt the proposal came as FIFA faced significant backlash, prompting the leadership to reconsider their approach to the tournament's financing.
