Joshua Kushner
VS
FIFA leadership
Joshua Kushner is an American venture capitalist and the founder of Thrive Capital, known for his investments in technology and sports.
He is also the brother of Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former U.S.
President Donald Trump.
FIFA leadership refers to the governing body of international football, led by President Gianni Infantino, which oversees the World Cup and other global competitions.
The conflict centers on a now-abandoned plan to partially privatize FIFA by creating a new commercial subsidiary.
Under this plan, Kushner's Thrive Capital was to pay $4.2 billion for a stake, but the proposal faced strong opposition, particularly from European soccer federations, leading to its failure.
Kushner has publicly expressed regret over his involvement, while European soccer officials have sought to subpoena him and have considered criminal cases against FIFA leadership, highlighting a deep rift in football governance.
