"The proposal would unlock footballs potential" 💬
Gianni Infantino reveals why he is pursuing plans to sell a stake in the World Cup and has indicated that football needs more commercial investment 💰
🚨 BREAKING: All 41 Concacaf members have rejected Gianni Infantino's FIFA Forward Enterprise plans.
"Concacaf is a confederation united by the love of our game, where football comes first. Guided by this philosophy over the past ten years we have built, from the ground up, an organization founded on service, transparent governance, and the long-term stewardship of football.
"History has shown FIFA and the football family what happens when the custodians of the game lose sight of these values.
"With this in mind, Concacaf today convened a meeting of the presidents of its 41 Member Associations, together with its President, Council members, and its FIFA Council members, to discuss a proposal developed and presented by the FIFA President to establish ‘FIFA Forward Enterprise’ and sell interests in the FIFA World Cup to private investors.
"During the meeting, the membership expressed deep concerns about the lack of due process surrounding the proposal, the artificially short deadline imposed, and the absence of any review or approval by the relevant FIFA governance bodies. In addition, the need for private equity investment to fund new and existing FIFA Forward programs following the most profitable FIFA World Cup in history was questioned.
"The discussion reinforced the need for greater transparency and proper governance.
"For these reasons, Concacaf and its 41 Member Associations have:
'- Rejected the proposal;
- Tasked their FIFA Council Members with engaging FIFA to determine how existing FIFA reserves could be used to increase FIFA Forward funding for football development across our region; and
- Tasked their FIFA Council Members with instructing the FIFA President to ensure that any matter follows the proper governance processes via staff and FIFA Council, in accordance with the FIFA Statutes.'
"Through these actions, Concacaf reaffirms that football's future—and its greatest asset—must remain in the hands of our football family."

🚨 NEW: Gianni Infantino, the under-pressure Fifa president, has given members a 53-day deadline to back his plans to sell stakes in the World Cup or face a 75 per cent reduction in potential funding.
In a letter sent to all 211 member associations by the Fifa president, Infantino has promised riches of up to $10bn to be made accessible as early as January 1, 2027, and he also offered access to as much as £30m through his new ‘Fifa Forward Enterprise’ proposal.
However, Infantino has warned any members who oppose his private investment plan will be cut out of the new funding model should it still get waived through by associations.

Obligado a hacer una declaración por la filtración de la carta a las Federaciones, con todo el descaro del mundo Gianni Infantino, llama al FIFA Forward Enterprise parte de un proceso “democrático” ”una “oferta” “una consulta” pero no “una obligación.
Pero, les dio a las federaciones hasta el 19 de septiembre para aceptar. Si pasa, cada una recibe $40 millones. Si no, $10 millones.
Eso en mi pueblo lo llaman soborno.
Aquí la definición: “acto de corrupción que consiste en ofrecer, entregar, solicitar o recibir dinero, regalos, favores o cualquier otro beneficio indebido a cambio de influir en las decisiones o acciones de una persona o grupo”
