FIFA adviser Carlos Cordeiro resigns, slams World Cup investment plan as bad for football

Carlos Cordeiro, a senior adviser to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, has resigned in protest over the organization's controversial World Cup investment proposal. Cordeiro publicly criticized the plan as 'a bad deal for football' and raised concerns about its governance. His resignation signals deepening internal dissent within FIFA's leadership circle. The move adds to existing opposition from major confederations including UEFA, Concacaf, and the AFC. FIFA now faces significant resistance from both inside and outside the organization ahead of a key membership vote on the proposal.
