FA chair calls for Infantino to hand over World Cup sell‑off documents

The Football Association’s chair has formally demanded that FIFA president Gianni Infantino provide all documents concerning his plan to sell a stake in the World Cup.

Infantino’s proposal, which has attracted criticism from several footballing bodies, involves a sale of a portion of the World Cup’s commercial rights. The details of the transaction remain largely undisclosed.

FA chair’s request reflects concerns that the sale could undermine the integrity of the tournament and shift control away from the sport’s traditional governing structures.

By seeking full transparency, the FA aims to ensure that any future arrangements are subject to rigorous oversight and align with the interests of clubs, players and fans.

The documents are expected to be reviewed by FA officials and could influence how the sport’s governing bodies negotiate future commercial deals.
