Fifa scraps controversial World Cup investment plan

Concacaf, which governs football in North, Central America and the Caribbean - and hosted this summer's World Cup - said its members "rejected" the proposal, with sources saying the vast majority of associations from the region are losing, or have lost, faith in Infantino." Infantino had offered all 211 member associations $40m (£30m) if they backed a proposal for private investment in its tournaments, including the men's and women's World Cups.

Carlos Cordeiro - Infantino's senior adviser on global strategy and governance - resigned over the mater, saying the proposal was "a bad deal for football" and would "mortgage football's future".
