Uefa and Concacaf, two of the world's major football governing bodies, have written to Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, asking him to allocate at least $10 million (£7.5 million) from FIFA's financial reserves to each of its 211 member associations. This request comes as tensions continue between the organizations, following the recent cancellation of Infantino's proposed private equity initiative called Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE). The FFE plan aimed to create a new company to manage commercial and ticketing rights for major football competitions, including the World Cup. It would have involved selling 21% of this new company to an investment firm. However, the proposal was quickly abandoned after just four days due to strong opposition from national football associations around the world. Uefa responded immediately after the cancellation of FFE on August 1, stating that there was no need for Infantino to sell part of the game. Uefa pointed out that FIFA has reserves exceeding $5 billion (£3.7 billion), yet these funds had not been used to benefit member associations. Now, Uefa is calling for FIFA to distribute a portion of these reserves—amounting to $2.11 billion (£1.57 billion)—to each country, in addition to regular funding during the 2027-30 financial cycle. This request follows a letter from Debbie Hewitt, chair of the English Football Association and also a FIFA vice-president, to Infantino and FIFA secretary general Mattias Grafstrom. Hewitt demanded access to all documents related to the controversial FFE proposal. She also asked for a written explanation from the FIFA Council regarding the recent cancellation of the suspension of U.S. forward Folarin Balogun during the World Cup. Infantino was instructed to provide all relevant documents before the next FIFA Council meeting on October 15. Infantino, who is 56 years old, is seeking a fourth term as FIFA president. Opponents of his leadership have until November 18 to find an alternative candidate to challenge him in the upcoming election. The ongoing disputes and financial requests highlight the growing tensions within global football governance, as various stakeholders push for greater transparency and equitable distribution of resources.
