PARIS, France (AFP) — FIFA President Gianni Infantino came under increasing fire from continental governing bodies on Saturday despite scrapping a widely derided plan to allow private investment in the World Cup.

Although welcoming the withdrawal of the proposal, UEFA said that Infantino had lost their “confidence” and that of other members of the football family with a “shabby, back room, opaque deal”.
