Another federation rejected Infantino and FIFA: "We will protect the World Cup"

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has expressed support for UEFA and Concacaf in their opposition to FIFA's proposal to sell part of the ownership rights for the World Cup. The AFC stated that any proposal threatening the unity and universal nature of the World Cup 'must be reconsidered.' While the AFC did not explicitly reject the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan, it emphasized that achieving broad consensus and unity is essential for future progress. This comes after UEFA threatened to boycott all FIFA-related competitions, including World Cups, if FIFA continued pushing for private investment in ownership rights. Concacaf, however, has not taken such a firm stance.
