$5.3B to settle FIFA disputes after World Cup deal fall
The "FIFA Forward Enterprise" plan proposed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to raise $4.2 billion from investors to fund the federation's rights has been concluded, amid objections from European and American confederations. The project was abandoned days after its announcement. At the same time, FIFA has proposed increasing the funding allocated to each national association to $25 million in the upcoming cycle, totaling nearly $5.3 billion, coming from its financial reserves without the need to sell commercial rights. The FIFA Council is discussing this proposal in Zurich, in line with pressures to improve financial resource management and governance, with a focus on supporting women's football, developing infrastructure, and long-term projects. The meeting also addresses criticism from some associations regarding the increase in funding without involving external investors, alongside questions about FIFA’s management of its reserves and the future of its commercial rights.
