2026-08-06 0 Dailymotion

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has apologized over the controversy surrounding his proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) investment plan but will remain in charge after receiving backing from FIFA's senior management during an emergency meeting in Rabat, Morocco. The proposal, which aimed to attract private investment into FIFA competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups, faced strong criticism from UEFA and several football leaders over concerns about transparency and governance. In a joint letter with FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafstrom, Infantino acknowledged the situation, writing, "We sincerely apologise" for the mistakes made and "commit to them not happening again." FIFA also admitted that "mistakes" had been made in the way the proposal was handled and said it "was not the intention" for member associations to feel excluded from the process. Despite the backlash, FIFA's management board reaffirmed its confidence in Infantino's leadership, while the governing body maintained that the proposal complied with its regulations and pledged to strengthen governance and rebuild trust going forward.
