Indonesia Stands Alone on FIFA Sell Off Plan The recent apology by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to English fans for his ill conceived "joke" about their arrest record may have been a necessary damage control measure, but it hasn't altered the fundamental question: why is Indonesia's football association president so eager to back a multibillion dollar sell off of World Cup commercial rights?
The Indonesian FA president's stance is puzzling given the global outcry against Infantino's plan.
Most international football federations oppose the proposal, which would prioritize short term financial gains over long term integrity.
