Tebas Demands Infantino Resignation After World Cup Equity Sale Collapses

La Liga president joins British prime minister in calling for FIFA leadership change following UEFA boycott of privatization plan.

Javier Tebas demanded the resignation of FIFA President Gianni Infantino on August 2, escalating a governance crisis that began when a secret proposal to sell World Cup equity collapsed under European opposition [2]. The head of the Spanish football league framed his call as a necessary corrective to a centralized power structure he argues has systematically weakened institutional checks within global football [6]. His statement arrived one day after British Prime Minister Andy Burnham issued a similar demand, transforming what began as an internal commercial dispute into a public confrontation involving both domestic leagues and national governments [3].
