    "Real Madrid C.F. warmly welcomes FIFA's decision to abandon the proposal for the partial sale of the commercial rights to its competitions. Our club believes this is good news for football, for its governing bodies and, above all, for the millions of fans of our beloved sport," the club said in an official statement.
