British Prime Minister Andrew Burnham believes that after football confederations opposed the sale of World Cup rights to private investors, FIFA President Gianni Infantino should resign.
Sport.Biz reports that the European Parliament had previously considered summoning the FIFA president for a hearing related to his plan to sell some tournament rights to private investors.
"This was an incredible proposal. The fact that such a plan could even be proposed, in my opinion, shows that the FIFA president is not the right person to lead the organization", - quotes "The Telegraph" Burnham.
On July 30, UEFA announced that it would be ready to boycott tournaments funded by FIFA if the rights are sold to private investors. On the same day, CONCACAF rejected the idea proposed by FIFA. On July 31, the AFC supported UEFA and CONCACAF.
