World Cup Drama Erupts: CONCACAF and UEFA Unite Against FIFA’s Controversial Sell-Off Scheme
After expanding the World Cup from 32 teams to the 48 that contested this year’s tournament, Infantino said this month that a proposal from South America to expand to 64 teams would be looked at. Given the huge amounts of income generated from this year’s competition, private investors would clearly view the World Cup as attractive due to the possibility of expansion or staging the tournament more regularly.
However, one of the biggest winners from the plan coming to fruition would be Infantino. As commissioner or CEO of the new company, he would be expected to command an annual salary akin to that of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who earns around $64m a year. Infantino’s current approximate salary is $6m.
