Fifa’s COO Kevin Lamour just got fired after boldly calling out president Gianni Infantino for pushing a controversial World Cup privatization plan — saying Fifa’s staff were “deceived” and that Infantino acts like he is the organization, not its servant. Lamour admitted he knew his job was on the line but slept soundly knowing he stood by his principles. He also accused leadership of contempt and intimidation, saying many insiders no longer feel proud to work for Fifa. The fallout was swift: one of Infantino’s top advisors also quit in protest. Fifa confirmed Lamour’s exit with a terse note, thanking him for two years — but offering no details. This shake-up at the top of global soccer’s governing body underscores how accountability still matters — even when you’re dealing with billions and world fame.
