FIFA COO Lamour exits after criticizing Infantino's World Cup plan

FIFA's chief operating officer Kevin Lamour has left the organization, weeks after publicly criticizing President Gianni Infantino's plan to sell a stake in World Cup commercial rights. Lamour said staff were 'deceived' and called it 'the project of one person.' The plan was withdrawn, but opposition from UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF persists, and a human rights group has urged FIFA to rule Infantino ineligible for a fourth term.
