Fifa will let council members see papers on Infantino's abandoned World Cup sell-off plan, but only in person

Fifa will only allow council members to inspect documents about Infantino's scrapped World Cup sell-off plan face-to-face, blocking any possibility of leaks to the press. The move came after Uefa formally requested access to the files concerning the failed attempt to hand control of the tournament to a private consortium.

The in-person-only restriction is widely seen as Infantino's attempt to prevent the papers from being leaked to journalists.

Uefa's request for disclosure forced Fifa's hand after the sell-off plan collapsed amid fierce opposition from member associations.

Council members will not be permitted to take copies of the documents away with them.
