UEFA has reacted angrily to FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s proposed plan to create a new commercial entity that would manage the business rights to the FIFA World Cup and other major tournaments.

UEFA, however, has condemned the move, arguing that football should not be treated as a commodity and warning that the sport’s governance must remain transparent and accountable.
