Let’s be completely honest on how this went: CONCACAF handled it a lot better than UEFA did. UEFA pretended to act all knowing and without any details shoot down any idea of PI, while CONCACAF kept the idea open but rejected how the bid was chosen

UEFA was completely right and much braver than concacaf. We must keep the Pandora’s box of private investment out of the biggest tournament in the world.

That’s where you’re wrong, investment isn’t necessarily a bad thing when FIFA loses money on everything they do besides the main men’s tournament. It all depends on the implementation. UEFA refusing to listen to anything and threatening boycotts shows how stuck up they are. UEFA and their countries have sold out before in other ways, they’re just hypocrites

Private Investment is a bad thing when you’re registered as a non profit

Of course UEFA isn’t perfect, but for a tournament and organization that are supposedly non-profit, FIFA and Infantino are doing all they can to open the door for underhanded corruption. We can’t expect hundreds of millions of dollars from private investors to not have an effect on an already corrupted organization. Anyone who thinks this is good-faith investment back into the sport is naive.
