Episode 3619: Infantino’s Big Sell-Off, Can UEFA Stop Him, What Should The FAI Do?

It’s all about unlocking new financial opportunities, says Gianni Infantino – so how will the world react to the FIFA Forward Enterprise sell-off?

Ken explains the grand plan to welcome American equity into the football family, and their benevolent plans for the beautiful game. We also speak to Tariq Panja of the New York Times to figure out how likely this is to happen, and just who can stop Infantino’s latest assault on the sport he’s supposed to be the caretaker of.

Can we trust the Kushner family? What way should the FAI vote? And could we find room for annual World Cups, bigger World Cups and even more hydration breaks?
