Projet de la FIFA : la CONCACAF affiche sa position
The project championed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino is facing further opposition within international football. Following UEFA, CONCACAF has now officially expressed its refusal regarding the creation of a new company intended to manage the commercial rights of several major competitions.
FIFA's initiative envisions the creation of a commercial entity responsible for the rights to the Men's and Women's World Cups, as well as the Club World Cup. A portion of this entity's capital could then be sold to an investment fund to generate new financial resources.
Meeting to examine the proposal, the 41 members of CONCACAF decided to oppose it. In an official statement, the regional organization denounced the conditions under which the project was presented.
CONCACAF believes that the process followed by FIFA raises several questions, particularly because of the time frame deemed too short and the lack, in its view, of a genuine review by the competent bodies of FIFA's governance.
"Members expressed serious concerns about the lack of a properly established process surrounding the proposal, the artificially short timeframe imposed, and the absence of any review or approval by the relevant FIFA governance bodies," the body said.
Before concluding firmly: "For these reasons, Concacaf and its 41 member associations rejected the proposal."
This stance represents another setback for Gianni Infantino, who now faces growing opposition to his project. Following UEFA's rejection, CONCACAF's further increases uncertainty surrounding the future of this ambitious FIFA commercial reform.
