Infantino's credibility draining after World Cup stake leak

FIFA's president faces mounting pressure after leaked plans to sell World Cup stake to Trump's son-in-law's brother.

What happened. FIFA president Gianni Infantino's credibility is draining after leaked plans to sell a stake in the World Cup to private equity, and his attempt to brazen out the storm adds insult to injury.

• Infantino has faced regular criticism for monetising approach since 2016.
• Leaked plans involve selling stake to brother of Trump's son-in-law.
• His authority is being lost gradually, then suddenly.

The editorial calls for Infantino to go, citing loss of authority and credibility.
