UEFA and CONCACAF Urge FIFA for $10M Payout to Members
UEFA and CONCACAF have formally appealed to FIFA, requesting a one-time payment of $10 million to each of the 211 member associations for the 2027-30 cycle. This request was communicated in a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, highlighting that FIFA's current financial status, with expected net assets nearing $6 billion by the end of the 2023-26 cycle, supports such a payout.
The total requested amount would be approximately $2.11 billion, in addition to FIFA's regular funding. This appeal follows the abandonment of Infantino's FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan, which faced opposition from national associations.
The request comes ahead of FIFA's Council meeting scheduled for October 15 and coincides with Infantino's campaign for re-election for a fourth term in March. Additionally, Debbie Hewitt, chair of the Football Association, has sought documentation regarding the FFE plan.
