FIFA executive committee member Moya Dodd also suggested to Infantino that women's soccer was an untapped asset as the federation looks to boost its revenues. Infantino, elected last month to replace the disgraced Sepp Blatter, has yet to appoint a secretary general and was told by tennis great Billie Jean King that the post should go to someone with a proven record of supporting gender equality.
