English FA demands Infantino release World Cup sell-off documents
–
Neutral summary
Debbie Hewitt, chair of the English Football Association, has written to FIFA president Gianni Infantino demanding the release of all documents related to the abandoned plan to sell commercial rights to the World Cup to private investors, as well as records on the lifting of a ban on United States striker Folarin Balogun during the 2026 tournament. The project, known as FIFA Forward Enterprise, was scrapped after widespread backlash, and Infantino apologised in August for announcing it. UEFA said it had lost confidence in Infantino and filed legal action in US courts to obtain the documents. Hewitt, one of FIFA's eight vice-presidents, is seeking publication before the FIFA Council meeting scheduled for October 15.
