Asian Football Confederation reacts to FIFA proposal
The Asian Football Confederation issued a statement confirming that it was not consulted regarding the proposal to establish a "FIFA Forward" company, which aims to increase funding allocated to national associations from $8 million to $20 million for the 2027-2030 period, in support of infrastructure, tournaments, and national teams. The confederation expressed its disappointment that this proposal was announced publicly before being discussed through the approved governance channels, emphasizing the importance of transparency and prior consultation with all stakeholders in the sport. The European Union responded sharply to reports suggesting that FIFA plans to sell shares in the World Cup to private sector investors, asserting that football is not owned by any single entity and that initiatives lacking transparency go beyond the ethical boundaries of the game.
