Oof. FIFA Chief Operating Officer
Kevin Lamour said in a statement to The Associated Press staff were “deceived” by Infantino’s lack of openness planning the private investor scheme and “deserve better than contempt and intimidation.”
“It is the project of one person,” Lamour, a long-time colleague of Infantino at both FIFA and UEFA, wrote. “Not only must this project not go ahead … but the time has now come for football political leaders to ask themselves the right questions and make the right decisions.”
Things moving fairly quickly.
