国际足联主席因凡蒂诺近日宣布愿意接受改革,提议对这一足球管理机构进行独立外部审查1。他在致FIFA理事会成员和所有国家协会的信中表示,建议在下月理事会会议前举行磋商,讨论如何进一步加强FIFA的决策能力1。这一态度转变出现在其备受争议的FIFA前进企业(FFE)计划遭遇广泛反对之后1。
FFE计划涉及向私人投资者出售世界杯等赛事的股份,其中21%将被出售给私人投资公司1。因凡蒂诺承认该计划在制度流程完成前过早公开,引发了不必要的担忧,但强调计划并未涉及出售FIFA的控制权1。他表示"民主进程、独立性和体育权力绝不出售,现在不会,将来也不会"1。
欧足联和北美足联已要求FIFA从现金储备中向所有211个成员支付1000万美元1。此外,UEFA已于上月开始在美国法院针对FFE计划准备刑事诉讼程序,要求发布所有文件1。因凡蒂诺将在2027年3月进行第四次选举角逐,对手候选人的截止报名日期为11月18日1。
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has signaled willingness to pursue governance changes, proposing an independent external review of the international football body in a significant shift following widespread backlash against his controversial Future Football Enterprise (FFE) plan 1. In a letter to FIFA council members and all national associations, Infantino called for consultations ahead of next month's board meeting to discuss "how to further strengthen FIFA's decision-making capacity" 1.
The FFE initiative, which proposed selling stakes in major tournaments including the World Cup to private investors—with 21 percent of equity going to private investment companies—faced substantial opposition from confederations across the globe 1. Infantino stressed that the plan did not involve surrendering FIFA's control, but acknowledged that making the proposal public before completing internal procedural steps had generated unnecessary anxiety 1. He declared: "Democratic processes, independence, and sports power will never be sold, not now and not in the future" 1.
The pressure on Infantino intensifies as his fourth re-election bid approaches in March 2027, with the candidate registration deadline set for November 18 1. UEFA and CONCACAF have demanded that FIFA distribute $10 million from its cash reserves to all 211 member associations, while UEFA has separately begun preparing criminal proceedings in U.S. courts against the FFE plan, seeking disclosure of all related documents 1.
