  "account": "European football governing body Uefa has demanded that FIFA release key documents and answer questions regarding its governance and decision-making by November 2. At the FIFA Council, President Gianni Infantino apologized for his World Cup sell-off plan but did not provide a full explanation of its development. Uefa's general secretary, Theodore Theodoridis, listed eight pages of 42 questions covering issues such as the private investment in the Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE), the Fifa Peace Prize, and the suspension of US striker Folarin Balogun. Uefa emphasized that any refusal to disclose information or documents should be justified with clear explanations. They emphasized the need for answers now, stating that future governance reforms cannot substitute for scrutiny of decisions already taken and accountability for them.",
  "summary": "Uefa's letter contained 42 questions, covering Fifa's failed private investment proposals, its Peace Prize and the fallout from Folarin Balogun's World Cup red card.",
