UEFA Calls for Rapid FIFA Reforms Over World Cup Privatization
Proposed reforms within the International Football Federation (FIFA) have confirmed significant flaws in the governance system. The European Football Players' Union (FIFPro Europe) pointed out that the decision to withdraw the "FIFA Forward Enterprise" project was an attempt to convert competitions into financial assets with the aim of generating private capital profits, without consulting stakeholders. FIFPro Europe is calling for comprehensive reform of FIFA's decision-making mechanisms, supporting increased funding for smaller associations. It notes that Europe accounts for 94% of the value of players in the 2026 World Cup, and that the winners of individual awards in recent editions have all been European clubs. The study also criticizes the decrease in national teams' share of World Cup revenues, which dropped to 7.7% in 2026 from 10.5% in 2006, despite the tournament's rising revenues. It emphasizes the need for a reliable governance system that formally includes clubs and players.
