FIFA Reaffirms Support for Infantino Following Rights Plan Collapse

FIFA leadership declared 'full support' for President Gianni Infantino on Wednesday following a crisis meeting in Rabat, Morocco, after he abandoned a controversial $4.2 billion commercial rights plan.

The failed proposal involved selling a 20 percent stake in a new commercial rights body to private investors, a move that triggered threats of a revolt from UEFA and other confederations.

FIFA officials acknowledged 'mistakes were made' regarding the plan, which had ties to US President Donald Trump, and pledged to defend the organization's reputation against further attacks.
