Infantino's opponents at FIFA call for $17.5M payments to federations from post-World Cup reserves
Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported18m ago
Vice presidents of FIFA representing European and North American confederations (UEFA and CONCACAF) have sent a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino demanding that member federations each receive substantial cash payouts—ranging from $10 million to $17.5 million—drawn from the organization's post-World Cup cash reserves.
This financial demand follows a global backlash in July against Infantino's proposal to sell off World Cup rights to investors led by Joshua Kushner. The push by UEFA and CONCACAF leaders also includes efforts to remove Infantino either prior to or during the upcoming FIFA presidential election scheduled for next March.
