On September 18, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin and CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani formally requested that FIFA provide detailed financial data regarding its internal reserves. The request aims to evaluate the necessity of the FIFA Forward program, a financial initiative designed to support the organization's 211 member federations.

The move highlights an ongoing debate regarding the allocation and oversight of development funds within global football governance.
