FIFA president attempting to sell entire FIFA rights: reports

Date 17.11.2018
FIFA President Gianni Infantino is planning to completely sell all of the sporting federation's major rights to a consortium with links to Saudi Arabia, two German media outlets reported on Friday. A joint investigation between daily Süddeutsche Zeitung and public broadcaster WDR found Infantino had been lying about the intentions of a planned €25 billion deal.
The deal was supposedly meant to deliver two new tournament formats to the new investors, but will instead hand over complete rights to the Football World Cup, satellite and network transmissions, archives, movies and videos, video games and merchandising. This would essentially leave FIFA as a hollow shell, while Infantino would lead the new organization.
