Pressure is mounting on FIFA President Gianni Infantino as he prepares to face a crucial meeting with the governing body's council on Wednesday. The Swiss leader is facing intense scrutiny over his handling of the recent World Cup bid process, which saw a major selloff of the tournament's broadcasting rights fail to generate the expected revenue. The failed deal has raised questions about Infantino's leadership and ability to manage the financial affairs of the world's largest sports organization. As FIFA's top officials gather to discuss the future of the organization, Infantino will be under the spotlight to explain his strategy and provide a clear plan to address the financial fallout from the World Cup debacle.
