## Caption

Charlie and Charlie break down the extraordinary proposal that could change world football forever, as FIFA explores selling a stake in the commercial rights to the World Cup and its biggest tournaments. From a potential $15 billion valuation and the role of private equity to UEFA's fierce opposition and the political battle brewing behind the scenes, this is an inside look at one of the most controversial ideas in modern sport.

Why would FIFA sell part of its crown jewels when football has never been richer? Who really stands to benefit from the deal? And could this spark a civil war between FIFA, UEFA and the world's biggest football nations over the future ownership and governance of the game?
