The new entity seeks to raise up to $4.2 billion from external investors, a major departure from the soccer body’s traditional funding model. The brother of US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law is set to lead the investor group, drawing condemnation from Europe’s UEFA, which accused FIFA of offering “zero transparency as to who gains financially,” adding that the World Cup was “ not FIFA’s to sell .”
