Fifa president Gianni Infantino says he has scrapped the controversial plan to sell off stakes in the governing body's competitions to private investors following widespread opposition. Infantino had offered Fifa's 211 member associations $40m (£30m) if they backed a proposal for private investment in its tournaments, including the men's and women's World Cups. If all member associations backed the stance of their governing body, that would have meant 136 nations voting against Infantino's plan. Infantino became Fifa president in 2016 when he beat AFC president Sheikh Salman by 115 votes to 88. Thursday, 30 JulyUefa's 55 member associations vote to boycott World Cups if Infantino's plan goes ahead.
