By Andy Burnham has called on the Fifa president Gianni Infantino to resign over his “outrageous” plans to sell a stake in the World Cup.
Asked about the Fifa proposals during a visit to a community centre in Sheffield on Friday, the prime minister said:
“My view is strengthening – this was an outrageous suggestion. The idea that it could even be brought forward, in my view, shows that the Fifa general secretary is the wrong man to lead the organisation.”
When told the Fifa president was sticking to its plans despite a furious backlash from Uefa and other membership bodies, Burnham said: “Oh wow. Have they actually done that? Oh wow.”
