FIFA defends forward enterprise proposal amidst investment backlash
in5points
FIFA defended its FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal, which moves commercial and event delivery into a new FIFA-owned subsidiary.
UEFA and CONCACAF opposed FFE, fearing private investors could gain influence over tournaments like the World Cup.
FIFA said FFE would give all 211 member associations (MAs) $20 million in development funding from 2027-2030.
FIFA claimed FFE would improve commercial management and share revenues among all MAs.
