FIFA President Infantino Proposes Governance Review Amid Backlash Over Investment Plan
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has proposed a structured consultation and an independent external review of FIFA's decision-making processes following backlash over his abandoned plan to sell stakes in FIFA's commercial rights. The proposal aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and stakeholder involvement in governance. However, several member associations and football officials remain skeptical, calling for deeper reforms and leadership changes ahead of Infantino's re-election bid in 2027. Initial proposals will be discussed at the FIFA Council meeting in October.
