The presidents of UEFA (European football union) and CONCACAF (North American football union), Alexander Ceferin and Victor Montagliani, have proposed a financial strategy involving distributing at least $10 million to each of the 211 member federations of FIFA, including Colombia, during the 2027–2030 cycle. This initiative aims to secure support for Gianni Infantino’s re-election as FIFA president in March 2027. The proposal comes amid criticism of Infantino’s management, particularly his controversial decision to allow private investors in major tournaments like the World Cup. UEFA and CONCACAF argue that FIFA has sufficient reserves, around $6 billion, to fund this distribution without compromising its finances or requiring concessions on tournament rights. The move highlights growing tensions within global football governance.
