While UEFA continues to rally opposition, FIFA has now received public backing from an unexpected corner of Europe, dealing an early setback to efforts aimed at presenting a united front against the governing body’s plans. Gianni Infantino’s controversial proposal to reshape the commercial future of the World Cup has divided soccer like few governance issues in recent memory. While UEFA continues to rally opposition, FIFA has now received public backing from an unexpected corner of Europe, dealing an early setback to efforts aimed at presenting a united front against the governing body’s plans. The debate centers on FIFA’s proposal to create FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a new commercial subsidiary that would oversee the World Cup, Club World Cup and other major competitions while selling minority stakes to private investors. With member associations facing a September 19 deadline to decide whether to support the project, the political battle surrounding soccer’s biggest tournament continues to intensify. According to reports from The Associated Press, Sky News and several other outlets, FIFA is seeking approval from its 211 member associations to launch FIFA Forward Enterprise, a company valued at around $20 billion. Under the proposal, FIFA would sell minority, non-controlling stakes worth approximately $4.2 billion, while maintaining overall control of soccer governance, international competitions and the global calendar. In a letter to member associations, Infantino described the proposal as “a singular and unique funding opportunity.” He added: “It is my duty and responsibility as FIFA president to present such game-changing opportunities to you, our members.” FIFA President Gianni Infantino speaks about the 2026 World Cup with U.S. President Donald Trump Should the project receive majority approval, each member association could receive funding packages worth up to $40 million, significantly increasing the financial support available for infrastructure, grassroots soccer, coaching and national team development. The first European association publicly breaks ranks While UEFA has led fierce resistance to FIFA’s plans, the Czech Republic has emerged as the first European nation to publicly support Infantino’s proposal. David Trunda, president of the Czech Football Association, believes the additional investment could benefit soccer development in his country despite widespread criticism elsewhere across Europe. Speaking to Sky News, Trunda said: “I can see the pragmatic benefits for Czech soccer from working in close co-operation with Gianni Infantino and his team.” He continued: “Of course we need more details, but my personal point of view is that I can see the positive impact of FIFA’s intentions.” Ladislav Krejci of Czechia celebrates scoring his team’s first goal Trunda also highlighted his own experience working alongside FIFA since taking office last year. He added: “I was elected a little more than a year ago and for me personally all the projects I have experienced in cooperation with FIFA have been very positive for the development of European soccer.” His comments represent the first major public endorsement of FIFA’s proposal from within UEFA’s membership, potentially complicating the confederation’s attempt to maintain complete unity. Why FIFA believes the proposal is necessary Infantino has consistently argued that the proposal is designed to benefit soccer globally rather than outside investors. According to FIFA, FFE would consolidate broadcasting rights, sponsorship agreements, ticketing, licensing and commercial operations, allowing the governing body to generate far higher income for member associations over the coming decade.

Spain enters the tournament among the favorites to lift the trophy, but much of the spotlight has centered on the teenage sensation after weeks of uncertainty surrounding his recovery from injury. The 2026 World Cup is underway, and few stories have attracted as much attention as the fitness of Lamine Yamal. Spain enters the tournament among the favorites to lift the trophy, but much of the spotlight has centered on the teenage sensation after weeks of uncertainty surrounding his recovery from injury. After an extraordinary season with Barcelona, the 18-year-old arrived at the tournament carrying enormous expectations. However, a hamstring injury suffered during the final stretch of the club campaign temporarily halted his momentum and raised concerns about whether he would be ready to make an impact on soccer’s biggest stage. On Thursday, though, Spain’s coaching staff finally received encouraging news after Yamal returned to full training with his teammates in the United States. The winger has been sidelined since late April, missing both the end of Barcelona‘s season and Spain’s pre-World Cup warm-up matches. His return comes at a crucial moment for the national team as preparations intensify ahead of the opening group-stage clash against Cape Verde. It’s safe to say that La Roja views the young star as one of the most influential players in the squad, particularly after he produced another remarkable campaign that included 24 goals and 18 assists in 45 appearances across all competitions. The teenager’s performances earned him the La Liga Player of the Year award for the 2025-26 season and strengthened his credentials as one of the leading young talents in world soccer. The reason behind Spain’s cautious approach While Yamal’s return to training is a major positive, Spain has made it clear that caution remains the priority. The coaching staff, medical team, and Barcelona have been working closely together to ensure his recovery progresses without unnecessary setbacks. “It will be seen when is the best time for him to return,” Spain technical director Aitor Karanka explained while discussing the winger’s situation. Karanka also emphasized the close cooperation between the federation and Barcelona. “My relationship with Bojan and Deco is fantastic from the first moment. It is important that there is transparency. We were with the Barca medical services, and we are all seeing when is the best time.” Lamine Yamal of Spain. Spain’s World Cup plan for Yamal revealed According to various reports, Spain has designed a gradual return plan aimed at having the winger at peak fitness when the knockout rounds begin. Rather than rushing him back into the starting lineup immediately, the coaching staff intends to increase his workload step by step throughout the group stage. Spanish outlet Sport indicates that the initial objective is to give him limited minutes against Cape Verde before increasing his involvement in subsequent matches. The proposed roadmap would see Yamal play between 15 and 20 minutes against Cape Verde, at least 30 minutes against Saudi Arabia, and potentially start the final group-stage match against Uruguay.
