Gianni Infantino
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has threatened a television blackout of this year's Women's World Cup in major European countries unless broadcasters improve their offers for rights.
Infantino in October criticised broadcasters who he said had offered "100 times less" to screen the Women's World Cup compared to the men's tournament. He went on the attack again on Monday, less than three months before the start of the tournament in Australia and New Zealand, calling for a "fair price" for media rights.
