CONCACAF has called for a "comprehensive reckoning" regarding Gianni Infantino's leadership of FIFA following his recent controversial proposal to allow private investment in the World Cup. The governing body criticized Infantino's unilateral decision-making, which they believe reflects a pattern of poor governance. After facing significant backlash, Infantino withdrew the plan, which aimed to create a commercial subsidiary for FIFA's major events, potentially raising $4.2 billion. CONCACAF welcomed the withdrawal but expressed concerns about Infantino's suitability to lead, echoing sentiments from UEFA and other football associations. The statement emphasized the need for FIFA to utilize its existing reserves for football development rather than pursuing risky financial strategies. CONCACAF highlighted the lack of transparency and consultation in Infantino's proposal, calling it a symptom of leadership that no longer prioritizes the sport.
