UK Finance Minister Says FIFA's World Cup Sale Plan is Collapsing

London: British finance minister John Healey said on Friday ‌he was proud that English and European football authorities had galvanised the opposition to FIFA's ⁠plans to sell a stake in the World Cup, a proposal that he said now appeared to be collapsing.

"I think FIFA's plans are ‌falling ⁠apart, and I'm dead proud ... that the FA and UEFA have lead ⁠the charge against the idea the World Cup's for ⁠sale," Healey told reporters. "I want to see ⁠these plans put to one side."
