✦AI Summary
FIFA President Gianni Infantino faces calls for resignation after attempting to sell a stake in World Cup commercial rights without consulting key governing bodies. European football leagues have criticized the move as a profit-driven decision that ignores the interests of national championships and the international football calendar.
Infantino said on Friday that FIFA had scrapped the plan to raise up to US$4.2-billion by selling about a 20 per cent stake to private investors after a widespread backlash. Darryl Dyck/The Associated Press
