FIFA proposal ‘an opportunity but not an obligation’ – Infantino

FIFA President Gianni Infantino addressed a proposal to create a private subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), aimed at capturing previously untapped commercial value from FIFA's competitions. The proposal, which involves selling stakes in major tournaments, has sparked global controversy and backlash. Infantino emphasized that the plan is voluntary, part of a democratic consultation process, and not an obligation for member associations. He argued that the initiative would provide additional expertise to commercialize FIFA's events and benefit the 211 member associations. Infantino claimed the move would enhance the global game and improve fan experiences without altering the nature of football.
