FIFA President Gianni Infantino has suggested an external review of the decision-making processes within the football association. This proposal comes in light of significant backlash he received over the summer for suggesting the sale of a stake in the World Cup to private investors.
Infantino's initiative aims to address concerns regarding transparency and inclusivity in FIFA's operations.
