CNN —FIFA President Gianni Infantino has threatened a Women’s World Cup broadcast blackout in five major European countries over unacceptable offers of media rights for the tournament. The UK, Spain, Italy, Germany and France are the five European countries Infantino was referring to in his remarks. “To be very clear, it is our moral and legal obligation not to undersell the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Therefore, should the offers continue not to be fair (towards women and women’s football), we will be forced not to broadcast the FIFA Women’s World Cup into the ‘Big 5’ European countries,” Infantino added. Australia and New Zealand will co-host the 2023 Women’s World Cup from July 20 until August 20.
