Infantino's Earnings if FIFA Project Advances
The article discusses the FIFA Forward Enterprise project, a major business plan that the International Football Federation (FIFA) is seeking to establish to increase global football resources and funding for its development. The project is valued at up to $4.2 billion, with support from J.P. Morgan Bank and investment partners such as Joshua Kushner. It aims to attract private investments and offer substantial financial incentives to national associations, including an immediate payment of $20 million to each federation. A vote on the plan is expected in September 2023. Questions also surround the future of FIFA President Gianni Infantino, with reports suggesting he may run for an executive position offering potential earnings of up to £47 million annually, compared to his current salary of £4.46 million. The project has faced strong criticism from some football associations, such as UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation, which emphasize that football is not for sale and warn of the impact of FIFA's desire to turn the game into a commercial investment, while reaffirming their commitment to safeguarding its independence.
