Embattled FIFA chief Infantino holds emergency talks with directors

FIFA President Gianni Infantino held emergency crisis talks with senior directors and staff in Morocco Wednesday.

The talks followed the dramatic collapse and withdrawal of a controversial 20 billion US Dollars plan to sell a 20% stake in a new World Cup commercial entity. The proposed "FIFA Forward Enterprise" scheme, intended to manage tournament operations, was permanently scrapped after major confederations and executives voiced fierce opposition. High-profile figures, including Arsène Wenger, distanced themselves from the venture, while European football bodies weighed potential legal actions.
