国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺提出的一项世界杯融资方案在全球足坛激起强烈反弹。他计划创建FIFA Forward Enterprise子公司，向私人投资者融资42亿美元，占股约20%，基于200亿美元的估值1。锚定投资者为美国商人约书亚·库什纳旗下的Thrive Eternal公司1。这一提议触发了欧足联、亚足联和北美足联等主要足球组织的强烈反对。
欧足联已宣布抵制所有国际足联赛事，直到因凡蒂诺放弃该计划1。因凡蒂诺的高级顾问、前高盛银行家卡洛斯·科尔德罗因反对而辞职，并指责这项计划是"坏交易"1。这场反对风波可能会影响因凡蒂诺计划在3月摩洛哥举行的投票中争取连任，他需要获得106票才能确保在这场竞争激烈的选举中获胜1。主席候选人的报名截止日期为11月18日1。
FIFA首席运营官凯文·拉莫尔发表尖锐声明为因凡蒂诺辩护1。根据该方案，211个国际足联会员联合会被提议各获得2000万美元，截止日期为9月19日1。
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has proposed a sweeping privatization scheme for the World Cup that has ignited fierce opposition from football's governing bodies worldwide. The plan involves establishing a FIFA Forward Enterprise subsidiary to raise $4.2 billion from private investors, with the investors acquiring approximately 20 percent equity based on a $20 billion valuation of the entity 1. Thrive Eternal, a company affiliated with Joshua Kushner, has been identified as an anchor investor 1.
The proposal has triggered unprecedented resistance across the global football community. UEFA vowed on Thursday to boycott all FIFA competitions unless Infantino abandons the initiative 1. The confederation's stance reflects broader opposition from the Asian Football Confederation, North American football bodies, European national associations, and the British Prime Minister 1. Within FIFA's own leadership, the plan has created significant fracture, with Carlos Cordeiro, Infantino's senior adviser and former Goldman Sachs banker, resigning and denouncing the scheme as a bad deal 1. In response, FIFA Chief Operating Officer Kevin Lamour issued a sharp statement defending his colleague 1.
The controversy carries potential political consequences for Infantino's position. The next FIFA presidential election will be decided in March in Morocco, with nominations closing on November 18 1. Infantino requires 106 votes to secure a majority in what is shaping up to be a competitive contest 1. FIFA's 211 member associations have been offered $20 million each as an incentive, with a deadline of September 19 1.
