FIFA Chief Sacked After Criticising Infantino’s World Cup Plan. FIFA has dismissed chief operating officer Kevin Lamour after he publicly criticised Gianni Infantino’s controversial World Cup investment plan. Lamour strongly opposed proposals to sell parts of the tournament to private investors, calling FIFA’s administration deceived. He also accused Infantino of acting as though he embodied FIFA, instead of serving the organisation and its members. Lamour openly accepted that challenging the proposal could cost him his position, saying he would respect any consequences. The controversial investment scheme was abandoned just hours after Lamour publicly criticised the plan on July 31. FIFA confirmed Lamour’s departure on August 17, thanking him for two years of service without giving further details. His exit comes as Infantino faces mounting pressure following the collapse of his controversial World Cup investment proposal.
