UEFA, CONCACAF challenge FIFA on reserves and demand $10m payout to members

UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin and CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani have called for an independent review of FIFA’s financial reserves and proposed a $2.1bn payout to its 211 member associations, ⁠in a further sign of growing tensions over the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise project. The proposal would make at least $10m available to each member association over the 2027-30 cycle and would come on top of funding already committed under the world football body’s Forward Programme, the ⁠two FIFA vice-presidents said in a letter addressed on Friday to FIFA President Gianni Infantino and seen by the Reuters news agency.
