Here’s a solution: bar FIFA from selling viewing rights to their competitions and allow any station or channel to stream for free. That would grow the global game.
Take away the money and FIFA doesn’t have much to bargain with. They need to remember they are a purely administrative organization.

- Someone 2mo ago> The game is already as global as it gets There is a tiny bit of room for expansion. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c5y03dermmeo https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c5y03dermmeo: “Football is almost non-existent on this Pacific island. Nauru has never fielded a team in an official international match and it has just one – hard sand – pitch. While there is interest in big Premier League matches, and children wear Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo kits, any attempts to actually play football tend to be mocked, unless it's Aussie rules.” (Nauru is about 21 km², 21,000 people)
