After the crisis meeting he allegedly convened himself, FIFA president Gianni Infantino has now commented on the much-criticized plan to sell the World Cup, which he had already abandoned earlier after a wave of outrage from all sides.
In a letter published by the world governing body on Wednesday night, signed by both Gianni Infantino and FIFA secretary general Mattias Grafström, it says: "We acknowledge that mistakes were also made after the plan was leaked to the media."
It is Infantino's first apology since the controversial plans became public, which had envisaged selling shares in football's biggest tournament to private investors.
"We sincerely apologize for these mistakes and commit to ensuring that they will not happen again," the letter continues.
A necessary review is to be carried out, and the report presented to the FIFA Council at its next meeting.
