Fifa-Präsident Gianni Infantino ist mit seinen Plänen, die Fussball-WM teilweise zu privatisieren, gescheitert. In nur gerade vier Tagen hagelte es so viel Kritik an dem Vorhaben, dass Infantino heute einen Rückzieher machte. Was bedeutet diese krachende Niederlage? Ausserdem: Der Grossbrand in der Region Gironde an der französischen Atlantikküste ist unter Kontrolle. Nun geht es darum ihn vollständig zu löschen. Dafür sind auch Freiwillige im Einsatz. Sie löschen nicht nur Glutnester, sondern versorgen auch Wildtiere mit Wasser. Schätzungsweise 160 Millionen Cervelats isst die Bevölkerung in der Schweiz jedes Jahr. Besonders zum 1. August gehören sie dazu. Für einige ist die krumme Wurst der Heimatbegriff schlechthin. Doch warum eigentlich?

#1027 | Ed and Dom pull three stories into one. FIFA wants to privatise itself, United want fewer season ticket holders and £100m no longer seems like a lot of money in the transfer market. Gianni Infantino's plan was to privatise FIFA's commercial entity and sell a stake to private equity. If he gets his way we'll see World Cups and Club World Cups every summer. Old Trafford's crackdown on season ticket holders is part of the same movement. United are cancelling season tickets over what the club calls touting. Fans say it's nonsense. Fewer season ticket holders, and dynamic pricing on the way? Meanwhile, Chelsea have spent £117m on Morgan Rogers while operating under a UEFA settlement. Spurs have blown £185 million on two midfielders. City are lining up another £100 million midfielder they may loan out. United have done very little. Kids on the way out? Harry Amass and Radek Vitek are reportedly available for sale. Four friendlies remain: Atlético Madrid, PSG, Leeds and Milan. World Cup players are filtering back slowly. Is a third midfielder, left-back, or forward on the way in? A short chat about United's kits closes out the the pod. 00:00 Introduction and Preseason Recap 10:11 Transfer Priorities and Squad Needs 14:46 Youth Academy Player Sales 24:03 Rivals' Transfer Spending 34:34 Season Outlook 37:19 Season Ticket Controversy 44:15 Football's Financial Landscape 49:09 Kit Chat and Wrap-up If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

El periodista deportivo y colaborador de Así Las Cosas revisa la advertencia de la UEFA contra el plan atribuido a Gianni Infantino para abrir inversión privada en derechos comerciales de la Copa del Mundo.

En la sección Espectro, el analista revisa las tensiones internas rumbo a las gubernaturas de 2027, el papel del PT y el PVEM, así como el rechazo internacional al proyecto comercial de Gianni Infantino en FIFA.

César Augusto Londoño y Félix De Bedout tuvieron un fuerte debate durante la emisión de 6AM W, a raíz de la propuesta impulsada por la FIFA, bajo el liderazgo de Gianni Infantino, de crear una sociedad que administre los derechos comerciales de La Copa del Mundo y permita la entrada de inversionistas privados mediante la venta de participación minoritaria.

La Fifa prépare une profonde réorganisation de la gestion de ses droits commerciaux à travers la création d'une nouvelle entité, la « Fifa Forward Enterprise », ouverte à des investisseurs privés. Présenté par Gianni Infantino comme un moyen de « libérer le potentiel commercial » de l'organisation et de financer davantage le développement du football, ce projet s'accompagne de la promesse de milliards de dollars de nouveaux investissements. Mais au sein des instances nationales et européennes, des voix s'élèvent déjà pour demander des éclaircissements sur ses modalités et son impact réel. Pourquoi la création de cette société est-elle perçue comme une « attaque contre le football » par certaines fédérations ? Pourquoi Gianni Infantino veut-il se lancer dans ce projet ? Ce dernier peut-il réellement aboutir malgré la controverse ? Avec Nathanaël Vittrant, journaliste au service économie de RFI. 

Despite his job seemingly looking assured just a few weeks ago, Gianni Infantino's position as President of FIFA is now in jeopardy.With the footballing federations of Europe, North America and Asia all rejecting Infantino's plans to sell off part of the World Cup to private investors, pressure is piling on Infantino. Even the new Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Infantino is the “wrong man” to lead FIFA.On this episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by Channel 4's Sports Reporter, Jordan Jarrett-Bryan, as well as Abiola Ijasanmi the former Chief Operating Officer from the Confederation of African Football.They discuss whether Infantino has badly mis-read the situation and - could he actually could be forced out of this job?

A plan by FIFA president Gianni Infantino, to sell stakes in the World Cup appears to be in jeopardy after a third confederation expressed its opposition. For the latest Sports Correspondent with the Irish Times, Gavin Cooney.

The hosts react to Major League Soccer securing back-to-back victories over the Liga MX All-Stars and discuss the electric fan atmosphere inside the venue.

Lindsey Graham's memorial service at the Capitol brought together an unlikely guest list including Zelensky and Netanyahu, both of whom used the funeral as an opportunity for behind-closed-doors Trump meetings — Netanyahu called it "one of the best conversations I've had with Trump, and Zelensky said it was "good" and they discussed Patriot missiles and Ukraine diplomacy. In other Trump adjacent news, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced plans to sell a $20 billion stake in the World Cup to private investors led by Thrive Capital, owned by Jared Kushner's brother Joshua Kushner and his wife Karlie Kloss, because of course it is, with reactions from FIFA's 211 member associations being nearly universally negative. On the AI beat, AI companies are now buying rare books in bulk and destroying them to scan the pages for model training, because they've run out of internet content that isn't their own slop.
