Fifa President Gianni Infantino is under increasing pressure over his position - as at least 90 of football's 211 associations expressly reject his plan to sell off the World Cup to private investors. It has been reported that the controversial president is losing support amid a re-election bid, with a growing belief that his attempt to privatise the World Cup would see him unable to stay in post. LBC's Henry Riley explains how the proposal has been received across the football world.
