I am wondering if Trump is behind this? Gianni Infantino was very friendly with Trump during the Tournament . You know what Trump and his narcissistic personality is like, he wants to be making money out of everything and anything . Let's hope this all dies down now everyone has resigned.
Just want to say I am not a football fan.

The brother of Trump's son-in-law is behind the company who wants to "invest" in the new FIFA company. That explains how freindly the Orange One and Infantino were during the World Cup.

The deal with Trump was on the cards long before the USA hosted the World Cup.

Uefa and Concacaf, Uefa’s North America counterpart, have said they will boycott the world Cup if this happens. According to the FT these two associations represent almost half of Fifa's membership.

If they stick to their guns I can't see it happening.
