UEFA and CONCACAF demand FIFA pay $2.1bn to member associations
–
Neutral summary
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin and CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani sent a letter to FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Friday, September 18, demanding that each of the 211 member associations receive “at least $10 million” over the 2027–2030 cycle, for a total of about $2.1 billion. They also called for an independent review of FIFA’s reserves, which are projected to reach roughly $6 billion by the end of 2026. The demand escalates the rift over Infantino’s shelved plan to sell a stake in World Cup commercial rights to private investors. Earlier, Football Association chair Debbie Hewitt demanded Infantino provide a written explanation for the lifting of a ban on US striker Folarin Balogun, and German Football Association president Hans-Joachim Watzke called on him to step down.
