UEFA Calls Emergency Meeting to Address FIFA's Investment Plans

FIFA President Gianni Infantino's proposal to establish a new subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), and sell off a portion of its commercial activities to private investors has drawn strong condemnation from the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

“This is a line that institutions responsible for football should never cross. The soul and governance of football are not commodities, especially when it's unclear who stands to profit from such a sale. None of us own football. FIFA, football is not for sale,” UEFA declared in a statement on Tuesday.
