Fifa Chief Operating Officer Sacked Over Vocal Criticism of Infantino’s World Cup Privatization Plan
Kevin Lamour, Fifa’s chief operating officer, has been sacked after publicly criticizing President Gianni Infantino’s controversial plan to sell off parts of the World Cup. Lamour, who had previously served at Uefa, had labeled the administration ‘deceived’ and stated his colleagues ‘deserve better than contempt and intimidation.’ His dismissal highlights ongoing tensions within the organization, with Infantino himself facing continued pressure after the plan was shelved.
