Venture capitalist Joshua Kushner has expressed regret over his involvement in a scrapped proposal linked to selling stakes in the World Cup.
Kushner said he would not have taken part in Fifa president Gianni Infantino’s abandoned plan if he had known how the football world would react to it.
The plan concerned the proposed sale of stakes in the World Cup, football’s most prominent international tournament. It was ultimately dropped.
Kushner’s comments centre on the reaction from within football to the proposal. He indicated that the strength of that response would have affected his decision to become involved.
No further details were provided in the supplied material about the structure of the proposal, the timing of Kushner’s involvement, or the specific reasons the plan was abandoned.
The latest known position is that the plan did not proceed, and Kushner has stated that, with knowledge of the football world’s reaction, he would not have become involved.
