FIFA president Gianni Infantino is reportedly seeking Morocco’s backing as pressure increases around his leadership. The reported proposal involves offering Morocco the World Cup final, according to the available account.
The approach comes after a controversial plan involving private investment in World Cup commercial rights collapsed. That setback has added to scrutiny of Infantino and the direction of FIFA’s commercial strategy.
Morocco’s potential support is therefore being viewed in the context of a wider leadership challenge. The reported offer links the country’s backing to one of football’s most prominent fixtures, while questions remain over the fallout from the failed investment plan.
