A 64 team World Cup with extra matches in South America would mean lots of extra teams and fan group flying over an ocean just because FIFA was bought by the Saudi state and Infantino had to put 3 continents in 1 tournament. And it would thus mean more of this until summer football is impossible.
🚨 The World Cup is officially for sale. 🏆💰 Fifa President Gianni Infantino is trying to sell a 20% stake in Fifa competitions to private investors. Here's how FIFA corruption, a strange orange man and petrostates all intersect. 🧵 1/9

No one owns football. It is the common property of humanity. FIFA plans to sell off its tournaments to private equity. It is not FIFA's to sell. Our statement: rebootfifa.com/news/reboot-...
😱 The recent #FIFAWorldCup has almost completely wiped out supporters' confidence in #FIFA. See the results of our fan survey for the full story: footballactionnetwork.com/news/fan-sur... 🚫 Surely this leaves #Infantino with zero mandate for his plan to bring private capital into the #WorldCup

The irony is hard to ignore. Football is already being transformed by climate change. Matches are increasingly played in dangerous heat, players need cooling breaks, and grassroots clubs are dealing with flooded and damaged pitches. 5/6

This is no accident. Just as tobacco companies once used sport to make cigarettes seem aspirational, fossil fuel companies are using football's biggest stage to normalise the industry driving the climate crisis. Aramco reportedly pays around $100 million a year to sponsor FIFA. 4/6
To top off the tournament's sportswashing, Spain's Pau Cubarsí received the Young Player Award from Aramco chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan. 💰💨 In Cubarsí's nation, over 1,000 have people died in recent heatwaves, and 13 people were killed in wildfires just days before the final. 3/6
FIFA has stated that it takes climate breakdown seriously. 🤥 Yet throughout the World Cup, billions of viewers watched Aramco - the world's largest oil company - promoted across stadiums, broadcasts and the Young Player Award. 2/6
NEW PIECE: Spain's World Cup quarter-final began with a minute's silence for victims of deadly wildfires. Seconds later, screens lit up with Aramco's branding. As fossil fuelled wildfires raged back home, Spain's young stars were used to sell more oil. 🧵 1/6

The Aramco Young Player Award (yes you read that correctly), handed out by Aramco chairman and PIF governor Al-Rumayyan to Pau Cubarsi. A player who played an amazing tournament while his country was on fire and yesterday's training cancelled due to wildfire smoke. #Cubarsi
