FIFA has faced backlash over its proposal to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors, prompting European football’s member associations to threaten a World Cup boycott. In response, FIFA plans to continue its consultation process, insisting that “nobody is selling football.” The proposal, which involves creating a subsidiary for minority investments, requires a vote from FIFA’s 211 members, with 106 votes needed for approval. FIFA maintains that the initiative aims to enhance member associations’ ownership of football’s commercial opportunities without compromising governance.
