FIFA President Gianni Infantino has backed a review of proposals to increase payments to member associations from the governing body’s roughly $6 billion reserves. UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin and Concacaf President Victor Montagliani have proposed at least $10 million for each of FIFA’s 211 member associations during the 2027-30 cycle, in addition to existing FIFA Forward funding. Infantino instructed Secretary General Mattias Grafstrom to consolidate the proposals and said the FIFA Council would consider them on Oct. 15. He did not endorse a specific amount, saying any distribution must be delivered through FIFA’s governance process with fair, transparent and auditable arrangements. The review follows the withdrawal of the FIFA Forward Enterprise proposal, which faced opposition over its proposed sale of up to a 20% stake in a company controlling commercial rights to the World Cup and other FIFA competitions. Infantino is currently the sole candidate for next year’s FIFA presidential election, with a Nov. 18 deadline for additional candidates to enter the race.
