President Gianni Infantino held emergency talks with other Fifa directors in Morocco on Wednesday, a source told AFP, amid a wave of criticism over his now shelved plan to open the World Cup to private investment. Infantino, a 56-year-old Swiss lawyer – who is holding the meeting in Fifa’s Africa regional office in Sale close to Rabat – was in Morocco to celebrate last week’s Feast of the Enthronement. Morocco is to co-host the 2030 World Cup and Moroccan football chief Fouzi Lekjaa is one of the few to have publicly supported Infantino since the humiliating climbdown.
