FIFPRO Calls for FIFA Governance Reforms After Failed Investment Proposal
FIFPRO Europe has called for reforms to FIFA's governance following the withdrawal of FIFA President Gianni Infantino's Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal, which aimed to raise $20 billion by selling a 20% stake in FIFA. The plan faced strong opposition from UEFA and several football associations, who argued it would commercialize core competitions and undermine football's legacy. FIFPRO emphasized that future funding mechanisms should be developed collaboratively through trusted governance rather than unilaterally.
