Luís Figo Blasts ‘Deceitful’ Infantino, Calls for FIFA President to Resign

In a striking condemnation of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, Portuguese football legend Luís Figo has labeled the leader's recent proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors as 'the lowest, most deceitful and cravenly self-interested behaviour I have ever witnessed.' Figo's remarks come in the wake of Infantino's decision to withdraw the controversial plan following severe backlash from UEFA and other football stakeholders. Figo, who has long been an advocate for the integrity of the game, emphasized that while it may be too late for Infantino to salvage his dignity, it is not too late to save football itself. His comments reflect a growing discontent within the football community regarding governance issues at FIFA, raising questions about the future direction of the sport under Infantino's leadership.
