Pinnick: Infantino’s FFE Proposal Will Give Each Member Association $20 Million As FIFA President, Gianni Infantino has the right to propose changes, and it is up to stakeholders to accept or reject them. One of the major characteristics of the FIFA President is his ability to consult widely, and he is doing so with the FFE Proposal. Under this proposal, FIFA would sell minority stakes in a new for-profit commercial subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), to external investors. The beneficiaries of the proposal will still be the member associations — including the Nigeria FA, Ghana FA, South African FA, and all other FAs. This proposal should be celebrated in the wake of the most successful World Cup. Amaju Pinnick Deputy Chairperson, FIFA Men’s National Teams Competition Committee

FIFA and UEFA have officially started World War III. As it stands, no European team(e.g France, Spain, England or Germany) will participate in the World Cup or any FIFA competition and no European team will partake in the Club World Cup. This is because Infantino wants to sell parts of FIFA to private investors.
