FIFA President Infantino Apologizes for Errors in Private Investment Plan

Morocco. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has apologized for the 'mistakes' made in the controversial plan to sell stakes in competitions to private investors. However, he will remain FIFA President after senior FIFA officials in a meeting in Morocco expressed their support.

On Wednesday, Infantino called a meeting of the management board members at FIFA's African office in Rabat, the capital of Morocco. About four hours after the meeting, which was called after strong criticism of the plan, FIFA issued a statement supporting Infantino.
