Real Madrid Endorses UEFA Following FIFA’s Commercial Rights Reversal
Real Madrid has issued an official statement regarding FIFA’s proposal to introduce private investments into the Football World Cup. However, the club released this statement only after it became clear that Gianni Infantino had lost support and withdrawn his plan.
• Real Madrid welcomes FIFA’s decision to abandon the proposed partial sale of commercial rights to its competitions.
• The club expresses gratitude to UEFA, confederations, federations, and all organizations that opposed the project.
• Real Madrid emphasizes that clubs are the foundation of football and rejects the notion of treating future competition revenues as financial assets.
• The club firmly opposes selling future commercial income without bearing the associated costs and risks, which it states are carried by the clubs themselves.
