Infantino's Ill Conceived Gamble on Football's Future Gianni Infantino's plan to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors has hit a roadblock, with several key confederations opposing the proposal.
At its core, Infantino's plan is a bid to unlock greater commercial value from FIFA's tournaments through the creation of a commercial subsidiary, Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE), which would allow external investors to buy stakes in it.
However, several key confederations have come out strongly against the plan, citing concerns over consultation and governance.
