FIFA has confirmed that a review of its controversial and subsequently abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal will be placed before the organisation’s 37-member Council, as pressure continues to mount over how Gianni Infantino’s plan to bring private investors into FIFA’s commercial operations was conceived and handled. The confirmation came after Danish Football Association president Jesper Moller accused FIFA of avoiding “critical questions” surrounding the project during a recent Legal Committee meeting. The FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal, promoted by Infantino, involved selling a 20 per cent stake linked to the commercial interests of FIFA competitions, including the world cup, to outside investors.
