FIFA President Gianni Infantino has proposed an independent review of the organization's governance framework, as outlined in a letter sent to all 211 member federations on Monday. The review aims to assess how FIFA makes decisions on major strategic initiatives and will include a consultation period with confederations, member associations, and other key stakeholders. This consultation would gather suggestions on how to clarify the roles of the president, the executive committee (bureau), the council, and the congress, as well as how to improve transparency, participation, and accountability in decision-making. Infantino’s proposal follows the cancellation of the "FIFA Forward Enterprise" (FFE) project, a plan to establish a commercial entity open to private investment that would have managed certain FIFA assets, including the World Cup. This initiative faced strong opposition from UEFA, CONCACAF, and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), who criticized the lack of consultation and called for greater transparency. The FFE project was abandoned in July after facing resistance and threats of a boycott, leading to demands for changes in FIFA’s leadership from these organizations. Infantino acknowledged that the FFE plan raised concerns and gave the impression that decisions had already been finalized. He emphasized, however, that the plan had been subject to approval by FIFA’s council and member associations, and that it had now been withdrawn. He also noted that the FFE was announced publicly before the completion of FIFA's internal decision-making process. The proposed governance review will examine who holds authority in major initiatives, the roles of different governing bodies, and how to enhance transparency and accountability. Suggestions from member associations will be considered, with a deadline for submissions yet to be set. Any changes to FIFA’s statutes would require approval from the FIFA Congress, the organization’s highest decision-making body. Infantino assured member associations that their positions on governance proposals would not affect the treatment they receive from FIFA, including access to development and solidarity programs. He remains the sole declared candidate for the 2027 FIFA presidential election, with potential opponents having until November 18 to find an alternative candidate. Meanwhile, UEFA is preparing to take legal action against Infantino in U.S. courts over the FFE plan, requesting the release of all related documents. FIFA has responded by accusing UEFA of launching a "smear campaign" and challenging the legal action. UEFA, CONCACAF, and AFC continue to demand Infantino’s resignation.
