GENEVA \u2014 Pressure on FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his divisive plan to sell World Cup profits to private equity grew Friday as his senior adviser who sat on a White House panel resigned and Asia\u2019s soccer body joined Europe and North America in opposing it.<\/p>\n

An expanding crisis for soccer\u2019s governing body reached into Infantino\u2019s longtime inner circle when his pick to represent FIFA on the White House Task Force for the World Cup walked away, calling the Joshua Kushner-backed $20 billion commercial subsidiary plan \u201ca bad deal for football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlos Cordeiro is a former Goldman Sachs banker and officially Infantino\u2019s Senior Adviser, yet revealed he was not involved in the secretive investment plan that has rocked the sport since media reports revealed it Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot stand by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup,\u201d Cordeiro said in a statement formally resigning, just hours after FIFA insisted in a statement: \u201cNobody is selling football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordeiro\u2019s exit \u2014 and call for other senior staff to speak out \u2014 intensified scrutiny on Infantino one day after European soccer body UEFA threatened to boycott all FIFA games and events until the plan is dropped. North America\u2019s CONCACAF also rejected Infantino\u2019s offer of one-off $20 million payments to each member federation by a mid-September deadline.<\/p>\n
