Bundesliga and three other top European leagues call for major FIFA reforms

The letter released this Friday and signed by the heads of the Bundesliga, The Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A called for major changes to how FIFA operates – and for a greater say in decision-making. "Football's ​longstanding foundations have, in recent years, been threatened by a fundamental governance problem, whereby FIFA's president has actively promoted exploitative ​ideas rather than safeguarding against them," it said. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has been facing a wave of criticism since late July, when his plan for private investment through a commercial vehicle, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), emerged. The idea was for FFE to organize FIFA's tournaments while maximizing profits.
