Carlos cordeiro senior advisor of Gianni Infantino resigned by accused to sell FIFA world cup.

A senior adviser to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, resigned with immediate effect on Friday, July 31, after objecting to FIFA’s reported plan to sell a stake in the FIFA World Cup to outside investors. The resignation marks one of the highest-profile departures from FIFA’s leadership in recent years and has renewed debate over the commercial future of football’s flagship tournament.

According to reports, Cordeiro opposed the proposal on the grounds that it could alter the governance and long-term ownership of the World Cup, a competition regarded as one of the world’s most valuable sporting assets. FIFA has increasingly expanded its commercial operations under President Gianni Infantino, but the reported investment plan has drawn scrutiny from observers concerned about balancing financial growth with the tournament’s traditional structure.

Cordeiro, who previously served as president of the U.S. Soccer Federation before joining FIFA as a senior adviser, has not publicly outlined additional reasons for his departure beyond his reported disagreement with the proposal. FIFA had not immediately announced a replacement or issued a detailed response to the resignation at the time of writing.

**Cordeiro run allmost of FIFA commercial billion deals.**

The FIFA World Cup remains the governing body’s biggest source of income, generating approximately US$7.6 billion in revenue during the 2019–2022 commercial cycle, with the 2022 tournament in Qatar accounting for the vast majority of that total. The 2026 World Cup, to be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, is expected to set new commercial and attendance records, making any decision over outside investment one of the most consequential financial issues facing world football.
