FIFA President Gianni Infantino Faces Pressure Over $4.2 Billion Private Equity Deal

In a high-octane FIFA council meeting, president Gianni Infantino apologized for taking all officials off guard with an unexpected $4.2 billion world cup private equity deal with venture capitalist Joshua Kushner without furnishing any documentation or clarifications about the scheme or how US president Donald Trump had interfered in a player's red card case. As a result, the football ruling organization in Europe (UEFA) with support from Debbie Hewitt, head of English FA and Bernd Neuendorf, the chief of Germany football, has stepped up their efforts to remove Infantino prior to the March elections by demanding that a person of integrity be chosen.
