The Body plans to sell some stake for investmentInfantino is Fifa president until 2031 - Eduardo Verdugo/APCONCACAF said Wednesday it was "deeply concerned by the lack of due process" in FIFA's plans to sell a stake in the business operations of the World Cup and other competitions.
CONCACAF, Central and North American football's governing body -- which includes the three co-hosts of the World Cup, USA, Canada and Mexico -- joined its European counterpart UEFA in criticising the move.
UK newspaper The Times reported that FIFA president Gianni Infantino, 56, stood to profit from the scheme by becoming commissioner of the FFE after his expected next term expires in 2031.
FIFA said it intends to present the plans to the council soon.
UEFA, which has been critical of Infantino, said FIFA's plan "crosses a line that that football's governing institutions should never cross".
