FIFA decision-makers face dispute over canceled deal
FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that he is prepared to implement reforms in the decision-making processes within the organization, particularly regarding the distribution of powers between the President and the Federation's institutions. This initiative comes following the failure of a project to sell a portion of the commercial rights for the World Cup, which sparked widespread disagreements among member associations, especially the European Union, North America, and Asia. All of these regions opposed the plan, which aimed to raise $4.2 billion to develop football globally. Infantino proposed conducting an independent external review to enable the Council and member associations to participate more transparently, along with an assessment of the roles distribution between the President, the office, and the Council. The goal is to strengthen democracy and enact reforms before the FIFA presidential elections scheduled for March in Rabat. The outcome of these reforms depends on the deliberations of the Council and member associations, as Infantino seeks to reinforce his position ahead of a new term, while opponents focus on reducing his powers and increasing collective institutional involvement in decision-making.
