Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter criticized the current head of the organization, Gianni Infantino.

The latter became embroiled in a scandal following news of plans to sell a commercial stake related to FIFA-organized competitions.

"The close relationship between the FIFA President and the US President has reached a financial dimension that is deeply damaging football.

No one has the right to sell our game,” Blatter wrote on the social network X.

Netizens are laughing that the initiative was taken by S. Blatter, one of the most controversial figures in football history.

He served as FIFA president from 1998 to 2015. This period was marked by continuous allegations of corruption, questionable management decisions, and financial scandals.
