A top official leaves FIFA, deepening the fallout from Infantino's World Cup sell-off plan

FIFA's Chief Operating Officer Kevin Lamour has reportedly left his position. This departure follows his criticism of President Gianni Infantino's World Cup sell-off plan. Lamour stated that staff were deceived by Infantino's lack of openness. Infantino is seeking reelection amid pressure from continental confederations. The controversial $20 billion proposal was withdrawn after significant backlash.
