@FootynewsGianni Infantino's bid to hand off a slice of World Cup business to private hands has collapsed, and the heat isn't letting up.

Now Infantino is dealing with rising pressure from corners of world football, and some sponsors are uneasy about the stain this saga could leave on FIFA's reputation.
