Interesting rejection stance.
“The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a _permanent obligation_. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards,

-every decision on competition formats
and
-every decision shaping the future of football
is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but _by what best serves shareholders_.”
