Former U.S. Soccer chief resigns from Infantino role, calling proposed $20bn subsidiary a bad deal for football
Carlos Cordeiro resigned on Friday as a senior FIFA adviser to President Gianni Infantino in protest at a private equity plan for the World Cup. The former U.S. Soccer president and Goldman Sachs banker said he could not support selling a stake in football's top asset.
Adviser's resignation and protest
Carlos Cordeiro represented FIFA on the White House Task Force for the World Cup and often joined Infantino on visits to meet U.S. President Donald Trump. He resigned as adviser after opposing the proposal, stating: 'I cannot stand by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup.'
Cordeiro said: 'Let me be clear. I had no involvement in this proposal, and I oppose it unequivocally.' He called the $20 billion commercial subsidiary 'a bad deal for football' and urged dedicated FIFA staff to speak out against the plan.
Details of FIFA's proposal
Infantino proposed spinning off FIFA's commercial businesses, including men's and women's World Cups and Club World Cups, into a $20 billion subsidiary with 20% owned by private investors. The anchor investor is a New York firm created by Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner.
FIFA holds billions in reserves with no debt and earned $15 billion from the men's World Cup over four years. The plan would raise $4.2 billion by selling a permanent stake. Cordeiro said such a sale 'makes little sense' and urged others to act for football's interest.
FIFA leadership context
Infantino has led FIFA for more than 10 years and appeared set for unopposed reelection next March, though FIFA set a Nov. 18 deadline for challengers. Cordeiro resigned as U.S. Soccer president in 2020 after equal pay lawsuit court filings pressure.
Cordeiro described working five years with principled FIFA colleagues and hoped they would speak up. He warned decisions of this magnitude should serve football, not those profiting. The resignation marks a public split at FIFA's senior level over the equity plan.
