欧洲足球协会UEFA已正式警告国际足联FIFA，可能对其主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺的一项失败融资计划采取法律行动[1]。这项计划原计划向私人投资者出售未来世界杯的利润，融资规模达42亿美元，但于周六被撤回[1]。
UEFA在周五向FIFA发出法律信函，要求该组织保留所有相关证据[1]。UEFA表示，如果FIFA高管销毁或篡改证据，可能构成妨碍司法行为[1]。信函要求FIFA的18名高管保留相关文件[1]。这项融资计划涉及Joshua Kushner旗下的纽约投资公司参与[1]，并计划向211个FIFA成员国各提供2000万美元的一次性付款[1]。
UEFA的55个成员国已表示同意，若该提案生效，他们将集体抵制所有FIFA组织的赛事和竞争[1]。该融资框架将足球联合会旋转业务估值定为200亿美元[1]。因凡蒂诺目前的薪酬为600万美元加奖金[1]，任期目标设定至2031年[1]。FIFA下一次领导人选举将在11月18日截止报名，选举定于四个月后在摩洛哥举行[1]。
The European football confederation UEFA has warned FIFA of potential legal proceedings following the collapse of a controversial scheme by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to sell future World Cup profits to private investors [1]. The proposal, which sought to raise $4.2 billion in funding from investors including Joshua Kushner's New York-based investment firm, was withdrawn on Saturday [1].
In response, UEFA sent a formal notice to FIFA on Friday demanding the preservation of evidence related to the failed plan and cautioning that destruction of documents could constitute obstruction of justice [1]. The legal warning targeted 18 FIFA executives [1]. UEFA's 55 member nations had previously agreed to boycott all FIFA competitions and events during any period the proposal remained active [1].
The initiative would have provided FIFA's 211 member countries with one-time payments of $20 million each, while valuing the spun-off business at $20 billion [1]. Infantino, who earns $6 million annually in salary and bonuses, has targeted an extension of his tenure through 2031 [1]. The next FIFA election is scheduled for November 18, with voting to take place exactly four months later in Morocco [1].
