FIFA announced a review of the abandoned FFE proposal to its Council, following concerns raised by Denmark's football chief, Jesper Moller, over a lack of answers regarding the scrapped plan. The proposal, initiated by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, aimed to sell commercial stakes in tournaments to outside investors. Moller criticized FIFA for failing to address his "critical questions" during a Legal Committee meeting.
FIFA stated that a review of the proposal would be presented to the Council, as Standing Committees are meant to advise and assist the Council. The FIFA Council consists of 37 members, including Infantino, eight vice-presidents, and 28 elected representatives. The proposal sparked a global backlash, with UEFA, AFC, and CONCACAF calling for changes to FIFA's leadership structure.
A no-confidence vote against Infantino was also discussed, and several European national associations withdrew support for his re-election bid. Despite this, sources say Infantino retains enough support to secure his fourth term, which will be decided on March 18, 2027, in Rabat.
