The U.S. Soccer and CONCACAF have joined UEFA as the Confederations opposing to Gianni Infantino's invevstment plans for the World Cup, with the FIFA president losing up to 90 votes in his initiative. Gianni Infantino‘s proposal to introduce private equity into the World Cup has triggered massive backlash, drawing fierce opposition not only from fans but also from major regional confederations. Following UEFA‘s initial pushback against the FIFA president, U.S. Soccer and CONCACAF have formally rejected the initiative, potentially wiping out up to 90 votes Infantino needs to pass the venture. FIFA officially unveiled plans this week for the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a corporate spin-off entity designed to oversee commercial and operational delivery for premier tournaments, including the World Cup. The proposal involves selling up to a 20% minority stake to private investors, valuing the new venture at roughly $20 billion. The move met immediate resistance from UEFA, whose 55 member associations signaled an outright boycott of FIFA competitions, including future men’s and women’s World Cups, should the project proceed. CONCACAF, the governing body representing North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, issued a scathing statement Thursday formally rejecting the global federation’s proposal. Echoing CONCACAF‘s stance, the U.S. Soccer Federation released a joint statement and amplified the message across its official X account, aligning itself directly with regional leadership. “U.S. Soccer stands with Concacaf and its members,” the federation posted. U.S. Soccer stands with Concacaf and its members. https://t.co/boiyAPQn68— U.S. Soccer (@ussoccer) July 30, 2026 In its sharp rebuke, CONCACAF emphasized that its member federations remain united “by the love of our game” as an “organization founded on service, transparent governance, and the long-term stewardship of football“. The statement served as a direct salvo toward Zurich: “History has shown FIFA and the football family what happens when the custodians of the game lose sight of these values“. CONCACAF now becomes the second major confederation to publicly oppose Infantino and the FFE initiative alongside UEFA. However, unlike its European counterpart, North America’s governing body stopped short of issuing an explicit boycott threat regarding upcoming FIFA tournaments. How many votes does Infantino need? With UEFA and CONCACAF formally closing ranks against the proposal, the block of opposing member associations has grown to 90. Still, if Infantino can hold the line across the remaining confederations, the FIFA Forward Enterprise project could still secure enough support to pass. FIFA currently comprises 211 member associations, meaning Infantino requires a simple majority of 106 votes to ratify the proposal. To officially block the project, the UEFA-CONCACAF opposition bloc needs to recruit at least 15 additional votes from rival confederations. The voting breakdown across FIFA’s 211 member associations by confederation is structured as follows: UEFA (Europe): 55 votesCAF (Africa): 54 votesAFC (Asia): 46 votesCONCACAF (North America, Central America, Caribbean): 35 votesOFC (Oceania): 11 votesCONMEBOL (South America): 10 votes While CONCACAF represents 41 total member associations, only 35 hold full FIFA voting privileges. Attention now turns to CAF, the AFC, OFC, and CONMEBOL, whose member federations have yet to release official statements or reveal how they intend to vote on the contentious proposal.
As FIFA pushes forward with an ambitious commercial restructuring ahead of future World Cups, influential voices from across the global game are questioning both the process and the long-term consequences, creating uncertainty over one of soccer's most valuable competitions. Gianni Infantino‘s latest proposal has ignited one of the biggest governance disputes in modern soccer, with resistance spreading well beyond Europe. As FIFA pushes forward with an ambitious commercial restructuring ahead of future World Cups, influential voices from across the global game are questioning both the process and the long-term consequences, creating uncertainty over one of soccer’s most valuable competitions. The controversy centers on a proposal that FIFA says could unlock billions in new funding for the sport. While the governing body insists the initiative represents an opportunity to strengthen soccer worldwide, critics argue that the manner in which the plan has been introduced threatens the principles of transparency, consultation and collective decision-making. FIFA recently announced plans to establish FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a new commercial entity valued at approximately $20 billion that would oversee the organization’s commercial rights and flagship competitions, including the FIFA World Cup. Under the proposal, FIFA would retain majority control while selling a minority stake, reportedly up to 20%, to private investors in an effort to raise around $4.2 billion. According to FIFA, the additional funding would be redistributed across its 211 member associations, allowing more investment in soccer development around the world. Infantino has described the proposal as part of a wider strategy to expand opportunities for nations and grow the sport globally. FIFA President Gianni Infantino holds the FIFA World Cup trophy. “This is about the democratisation of football worldwide,” Infantino said while defending the proposal. He later emphasized that the initiative was “an offer, not an obligation,” insisting the consultation process remains democratic. CONCACAF and AFC reveal where they stand As criticism intensified, CONCACAF and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) both publicly voiced their concerns, focusing primarily on FIFA’s governance process rather than immediately rejecting the proposal itself. CONCACAF stated that it first became aware of the initiative through media reports rather than direct communication from FIFA. “CONCACAF was only made aware of this matter through media reports… We are deeply concerned by the lack of due process,” the confederation said. Concacaf Statement Regarding the Proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise"Concacaf was only made aware of this matter through media reports and, subsequently, via a media release.We are deeply concerned by the lack of due process.We share the disappointment of many within our…— Concacaf Media (@ConcacafMedia) July 29, 2026 The organization added that decisions affecting global soccer should always be guided by good governance, robust consultation and long-term stewardship, expressing disappointment that such a significant proposal became public before discussions with soccer’s governing bodies had taken place. The AFC echoed similar concerns while making clear that it supports innovation only when accompanied by proper consultation: “The AFC was not consulted on the proposal and is disappointed that a matter of such significance entered the public domain before the AFC family had been afforded the opportunity to examine and discuss it through the appropriate and established governance channels.” The continental body also stressed that initiatives of this scale should be based on transparency, meaningful consultation and sound governance before member associations are asked to take a position.

Joshua Kushner is now the kingpin in driving the sale of the World Cup to investors and family ties are tight around the projectIt isn’t just football fans and Uefa executives who want to give Gianni Infantino the red card for his plan to sell off 20% of the World Cup to a privately backed commercial enterprise. The Fifa president is also in the crosshairs of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee in Washington and ranking Democrat member Jamie Raskin. The reason? Infantino’s plan, which is backed by Joshua Kushner’s investment fund, has, for some observers, president Trump’s sticky fingers all over it.Raskin told Politico that Fifa was “going directly into business with the Trump family”, before making reference to the peace prize Infantino awarded the president in December and Fifa’s use of office space in Trump Tower, New York. “Apparently the fake Peace Prize and giant lease with Trump Tower weren’t enough – now Infantino performs a kickback hat-trick by pursuing a multibillion-dollar deal with Jared Kushner’s brother to sell ownership stakes in the World Cup to private investors.” Continue reading...
Trafford Council held the first of four open days on Wednesday to allow local residents to assess the proposed Wharfside Strategic Masterplan, which will have Manchester United's new stadium as its centrepiece. There are going to be four open days before the consultation period closes on 22 September and for the 90 minutes I attended, there were a steady stream of interested observers, keen to assess what the multi-billion pound development will look like and where the stadium will sit within it. Subtle tweaks can be made, and United officials are keen to stress nothing should be read into the fact the distinctive circus tent aspect of the previous stadium design is not evident in this one.
The dispute has intensified rapidly, with UEFA responding forcefully as tensions between soccer’s two most influential governing bodies continue to grow over the future direction of the global game. Gianni Infantino is facing mounting resistance after FIFA sets a deadline for its 211 member associations to decide on a controversial proposal that could reshape the commercial future of the World Cup. The dispute has intensified rapidly, with UEFA responding forcefully as tensions between soccer’s two most influential governing bodies continue to grow over the future direction of the global game. The latest developments have placed FIFA under intense scrutiny, with several soccer associations, leagues and stakeholders questioning both the proposal itself and the way it has been introduced. UEFA has now escalated the conflict with a fresh public statement after learning of FIFA’s latest deadline, signalling that opposition across Europe is continuing to gather momentum. FIFA sets September deadline for member associations According to reports from The Times and multiple media outlets, Infantino has informed every FIFA member association that they have until 19 September to decide whether to support the organization’s proposed commercial restructuring. Under the proposal, associations that back the project could receive funding packages worth up to $40 million each, while those rejecting it would instead receive funding through FIFA’s existing development programme, a significantly smaller package. FIFA President Gianni Infantino holds the FIFA World Cup trophy. In a letter seen by The Times, Infantino wrote: “The decision on whether or not to proceed with this proposal belongs entirely to you.” He added: “Should you wish to proceed, this $10 billion package will become available as of January 1, 2027, ushering in the next phase of our journey together.” Infantino also outlined the alternative available to associations unwilling to support the proposal, writing: “Should you wish to retain the status quo and reject this proposal, we still have our planned expansion of the Forward programme of $2.7 billion as previously presented.” UEFA delivers fresh criticism after learning of FIFA deadline UEFA had already condemned FIFA’s intention to create FIFA Forward Enterprise, a commercial subsidiary that would oversee broadcasting, sponsorship, ticketing, licensing and other revenue streams linked to FIFA competitions. After learning that member associations had effectively been given a deadline tied to funding, UEFA issued another strongly-worded statement, arguing that the latest development reinforced its concerns about the entire project. UEFA said: “Today we have learned of FIFA’s deadline to associations to support their proposals or have the one-off payout offer withdrawn. This says everything you need to know about this plan.” Further UEFA statement on FIFA plans: ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/EgQSUob9B5— UEFA (@UEFA) July 29, 2026 The European governing body went even further, adding: “But having held discussions with many stakeholders across the game, UEFA knows there is significant and growing opposition to FIFA’s scheme. FIFA cannot continue to use our sport to enrich themselves and their friends. We can grow the game correctly. It’s time to prioritise associations, clubs, leagues, players and fans.” Those remarks represent one of UEFA’s strongest public attacks on FIFA in recent years, highlighting the growing divide between the organizations.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s plan to create a $20 billion company running the World Cup with private investors including the Kushner family was announced Tuesday — and immediately attacked by European soccer body UEFA. “It is not FIFA’s to sell,” UEFA said in a statement. “None of us are the owners of football.” FRANCE 24's James Vasina reports.
