According to the London Evening Standard, British Prime Minister Burnham criticized FIFA President Gianni Infantino's plan to introduce private capital investment into the World Cup as "outrageous" and publicly questioned his right to continue serving as FIFA president.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has called on Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA president. He believes that after the sale of a portion of the World Cup's commercial rights and the introduction of private investment plans sparked strong international backlash, Infantino is no longer suitable to lead the world's governing body of football.
Burnham stated, "Infantino is not the right person to lead FIFA." He made this statement against the backdrop of widespread international opposition to the investment plan.
This plan has been opposed by football federations in Europe, Asia, and the CONCACAF region. European football has even threatened to boycott FIFA events if the project is not cancelled.
