🚨 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.

Wie die Times, der Telegraph und die Financial Times am Dienstag berichteten, plant der Weltverband um Infantino einen Verkauf von 20 bis 30 Prozent der Anteile an einem noch zu gründenden Unternehmen, das die WM kontrollieren soll. Die FIFA bestätigte das Vorhaben in einer Mitteilung am Abend weitgehend. Die UEFA übte umgehend scharfe Kritik an dem Plan.
