Former Arsenal manager and current FIFA executive Arsene Wenger has publicly supported the decision to scrap a proposed plan by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to sell World Cup broadcasting rights to the highest bidder. The plan, which aimed to generate record revenue for the governing body, has been met with fierce opposition from European leagues and clubs, who fear it would give the likes of the English Premier League and La Liga an unfair advantage. Wenger's backing is a significant boost to those opposing the plan, as it suggests that the influential FIFA executive shares their concerns about the potential consequences of the sell-off. The decision to drop the plan is a major victory for Infantino's critics, who argue that it would undermine the integrity of the beautiful game.
