The International Football Federation FIFA confirmed on Monday, August 17, the departure of Kevin Lamour from his position as Chief Operations Officer. The French executive, regarded as one of the most senior managers in the organization, stepped down less than three weeks after he publicly criticized FIFA President Gianni Infantino. denik.cz ↗
Lamour opposed a plan to sell shares in FIFA's tournament business to private investors. Multiple reports indicate it was a proposal related to commercial rights to world championships. The plan was subsequently cancelled, but Lamour's criticism was among the most prominent internal expressions of disagreement with the organization's leadership. France24 ↗
FIFA confirmed the end of the collaboration with a brief statement. According to published information, organization employees were informed of Lamour's departure on Monday evening. Reports also indicate that Lamour had previously accused Infantino of circumventing or disappointing employees in pushing through the investor plan. isport.cz ↗
The Chief Operations Officer's departure comes at a time of tension in world football leadership. The case may strengthen questions about FIFA's internal operations and the way the organization's leadership pursues major commercial projects. Further developments will depend on how FIFA explains the personnel change and whether new reactions from members of its leadership emerge. Telex ↗
