FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced on 21 September that a proposal to invest in a minority stake had been withdrawn, confirming that FIFA would not proceed with it. At the same time, he expressed openness to talks on reforming the international federation.
Infantino calls for independent review of FIFA governance
Infantino said he would ask the FIFA Council to conduct an independent external review of the federation’s existing governance framework, allowing the rules and arrangements governing the organisation’s work to be examined by an independent body.
He added that the FIFA Council could consider, during its meeting, proposals submitted by 15 October.
The date links the process of receiving proposals with the discussions expected within the council, alongside the request for an independent external review of the governance framework.
