Former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Pinnick has backed FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s proposal to sell a 20% stake in the commercial operations of the World Cup and other FIFA competitions to private investors.
Pinnick believes the proposal could generate significant additional revenue for football development and provide greater financial support to FIFA’s member associations. His comments come amid growing opposition to the plan, particularly from UEFA and other football stakeholders.
The proposal has sparked a major debate over the future commercialisation of football’s biggest tournament, with supporters highlighting its financial potential while critics question the involvement of private investors.
