The FIFA World Cup Is NOT for Sale
The Issue
The FIFA World Cup is not a business to be sold. It is a global sporting tradition built over generations by players, clubs, leagues, national associations, host countries, volunteers, and above all, the billions of fans who have supported the game.
We believe no individual or organization has the moral right to sell private stakes in the commercial future of the World Cup. While FIFA is responsible for organizing the tournament, the World Cup's value was created by the entire football community—not by any one executive or governing body alone.
Football belongs to the people who play it, support it, and dedicate their lives to it. Its greatest competition should never become an investment opportunity for private financial interests.
We call on FIFA to:
Abandon any plans to sell private equity or ownership interests tied to the World Cup's commercial future.
Keep the World Cup under independent football governance.
Put supporters, players, clubs, leagues, and national associations at the center of any major decisions affecting the tournament.
Commit to transparency and public consultation before making decisions that could change the future of football.
This petition is not against progress or responsible financial management. It is about protecting the integrity of the world's greatest sporting event.
The World Cup is part of football's shared heritage. It belongs to every generation that has played, watched, celebrated, and dreamed through it.
If you believe the World Cup should remain a competition built for football—not an asset for investors—please sign this petition and share it with others who care about the future of the game.
Signing this petition is completely free. If you're asked to contribute after signing, that's optional and goes to Change.org, not to this campaign.
