Fifa still refusing to share World Cup sell-off papers, says FA chair
Football Association chair Debbie Hewitt says the Fifa Council is still being denied full transparency over Gianni Infantino’s aborted World Cup sell-off plan.

FA chair Debbie Hewitt maintains that FIFA still refuses to share crucial documents related to Gianni Infantino's aborted World Cup sell-off plan, despite Infantino's apology to the Council. Infantino had set up a private company, Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE), for investors without informing the governing body's steering committee.
Hewitt insists she has repeatedly asked for the papers but has not received them. She believes Infantino must answer questions regarding FFE, the red card controversy at the World Cup, and Trump's Peace Prize to determine if he is suitable to be FIFA president. Hewitt emphasizes the need for transparency, stating that the response to her questions will determine whether individuals involved in FFE can be trusted.
Despite FIFA's resistance to Uefa's legal attempts to obtain documentation related to FFE, Infantino intends to stand unopposed for re-election in March.
