Infantino Offers Associations $40m to Back FIFA Private Investment Plan

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has given football associations a deadline of September 19 to support his plan to sell a stake in FIFA to private investors. A letter has revealed that associations stand to receive $40m if they back the proposal. A sale of part of FIFA to private investors would mark a fundamental shift in how world football's governing body is owned and financed, with potentially far-reaching consequences for the game globally.
