UEFA has stated that it is considering legal action against FIFA President Gianni Infantino and others involved in the now-withdrawn plan. The plan called for the sale of a stake in the World Cup to American private equity interests, according to France 24 English.
Infantino postponed the proposal after three of the six soccer confederations threatened to boycott FIFA-sponsored competitions.
The controversy surrounding the investment plan also sparked calls for Infantino’s resignation.
