Carlos Cordeiro, a senior advisor to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, has resigned in protest against FIFA's plan to sell commercial rights of the World Cup to private investors. Cordeiro, who was opposed to the creation of a commercial subsidiary for this purpose, described the proposal as 'a bad deal for football and for the future of this sport'. His resignation comes amidst growing opposition from UEFA, Concacaf, and the AFC, leaving FIFA facing internal and external resistance.
