Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, has expressed his disappointment at the possibility of a broadcast blackout in Europe’s top five football nations for this year’s Women’s World Cup. Infantino has stated that FIFA will not accept under-valued prices for the broadcast rights and is encouraging broadcasters, including those who are publicly funded, to bid more money. He believes that it would be a “pity” if the World Cup was not available for viewing in these countries.
