Infantino orders Fifa funding review
This comes after calls from Uefa and CONCACAF for a US$2.1 billion payout from the football governing body's reserves.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino has ordered an assessment of proposals to distribute additional funding to national associations, following calls from Uefa and CONCACAF for a US$2.1 billion payout from the governing body's reserves. In a letter to the six continental confederation presidents, Infantino stated that the assessment would be presented to the Fifa Council on October 15, with any additional funding subject to financial checks and formal approval.
Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin and CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani had proposed that each of Fifa's 211 member associations receive at least US$10 million during the 2027-30 cycle, in addition to existing development funding.
