FIFA President Gianni Infantino has given members 53 days to support plans to sell stakes in the World Cup, with a funding penalty attached for those who do not back the proposal. The Telegraph reported that members were told they could face a 75% reduction in potential funding if they fail to support the plan. The development points to a high-stakes push around commercializing part of football's biggest tournament, tying future financial support to member approval.
