The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) has welcomed FIFA's decision to reject Gianni Infantino's plan to sell part of the World Cup rights to private investors.
CONCACAF had previously released a statement rejecting the idea of selling shares of FIFA's World Cup rights to private investors.
"CONCACAF and its 41 member associations welcome the rejection of the FIFA project.
We are grateful to the football community for their unity. Our unity in defending the long-term interests of football has been successful.
Recent events have shown that the future of the World Cup has been determined without transparency, consultation, or proper procedure.
This proposal is a sign that leadership no longer puts football first. This unilateral mismanagement action is the result of a series of mistakes. A thorough analysis of the president's actions is necessary.
This concern is shared by many confederations. When the defenders of the game cannot act from within, the football family has the right to ask who is responsible.
FIFA is not a private entity, but an organization created for the benefit of the game. Those who serve it must be responsible.
The CONCACAF members of the FIFA Council will work to resolve governance and leadership issues in accordance with the FIFA Statutes", the statement said.
Infantino had personally prepared a sales plan that could have earned him tens of millions of pounds and had talks with people close to Donald Trump. The sports community strongly condemned the initiative.
