Claudius Schafer says there can be ‘only one consequence’ to Infantino’s actions over his World Cup privatisation plan.

Gianni Infantino’s ‌position as FIFA president looks untenable following his ⁠failed plan to ⁠sell a stake in the World Cup’s commercial rights, the head of Europe’s professional football leagues has said.

Claudius Schafer, whose organisation represents 53 professional men’s and women’s football leagues, said ⁠on Sunday there could be “only one consequence” for ⁠Infantino after his plan triggered a storm of protest from regional associations.
