FIFA President Gianni Infantino gave up a plan to sell World Cup revenue to a private fund.

FIFA会長のジャンニ・インファンティーノ氏はワールドカップの収益を私募ファンドに売却する計画を断念した

This was because strong opposition came from many parts of the soccer world.

サッカー界の多方面から強い反発が起きたためだ

In a statement on Saturday, Infantino said the proposal caused division and was no longer useful for the goals.

インファンティーノ氏は土曜日の声明でこの提案は分裂を招きもはや目標に有益ではないと述べた

The plan was to separate FIFA's commercial business into a $20 billion subsidiary, with private investors owning 20%.

この計画はFIFAの商業事業を200億ドルの子会社に分離し民間投資家が20%を所有するという内容だった

The investors included an investment firm founded by Joshua Kushner, the brother of U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law.

投資家にはドナルド・トランプ米大統領の義理の息子の弟、ジョシュア・クシュナー氏が設立した投資会社含まれていた

UEFA's 55 member countries opposed the plan on Thursday and decided to boycott the World Cup and all FIFA tournaments.

UEFAの55加盟国木曜日にこの計画に反対しワールドカップFIFAの全大会をボイコットすると決めた

North America's CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation also expressed their opposition.

Infantino's senior advisor Carlos Cordeiro resigned on Friday. FIFA's chief operating officer Kevin Lamour also said the project should not continue.

インファンティーノ氏の上級顧問カルロス・コルデイロ氏金曜日に辞任しFIFAの最高執行責任者ケビン・ラムール氏プロジェクトを続けるべきではないと述べた

This failure could be costly for Mr. Infantino.

この失敗はインファンティーノ氏にとって高くつく可能性がある

He was re-elected without a vote in 2019 and 2023, and he is allowed one more four-year term.

彼は2019年と2023年に無投票で再選されあと1期4年の任期が認められている

The deadline for the next presidential election is November 18, four months before the vote in Rabat, Morocco.

次期会長選の締め切りは11月18日でモロッコのラバトでの投票の4か月前だ

His position has been stable until now, but this failure could shake it.

彼の地位はこれまで安定していたが今回の失敗で揺らぐ可能性がある
