Fifa to share confidential World Cup sell-off plan documents

Fifa is set to release key documents related to its failed plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, following a request from Uefa. The documents, which include responses to over 100 questions, will be made available to council members in person at Fifa's headquarters in Zurich, under strict confidentiality protocols.

Uefa gave Fifa until November 2 to release the information, after which they threatened legal action if the documents were not provided. The questions raised by Uefa cover a range of issues, including the governance and decision-making processes behind the proposed sale, as well as past decisions such as the awarding of a Fifa Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump and the suspension of a player, Folarin Balogun.

Fifa has expressed difficulty in meeting the deadline due to their focus on other events, such as a new youth World Cup in Azerbaijan and preparations for an extraordinary congress.
