FIFA President Sets Deadline for Member Feds to Accept Private Investment Proposal

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has given all 211 member federations until September 19 to decide whether to back his private investment proposal. The proposal, which could unlock up to $40 million in funding for each federation over the next four-year cycle, has been met with criticism from several football stakeholders, including UEFA. The move is part of FIFA's efforts to raise funds for its operations. UEFA has threatened to boycott the World Cup if the proposal is implemented.
