AFC backs UEFA and CONCACAF over FIFA plan
The Asian Football Confederation, in a statement, expressed support for the positions of its European counterpart "UEFA" and the North, Central America, and Caribbean Federation "CONCACAF" regarding the opposing project "FIFA Forward Enterprise," which aims to establish a global commercial company to finance and develop football in order to protect the World Cup. The AFC described the project as lacking the necessary consensus and unity, stressing the need to reconsider it, as it could threaten the unity and character of the World Cup. Despite opposition from other federations, FIFA affirmed its intention to move forward with the project, which seeks to attract investments of up to $4.2 billion and to increase development funding for football to $10 billion over four years, while securing regulatory control over the sport and related decisions. National associations will receive additional financial support if the project is approved, while some regional federations called for reviewing the proposal and participating in dialogue.
