Infantino open to FIFA governance review, reforms

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has signaled openness to an independent governance review, sending a letter to all FIFA Council members and 211 member associations ahead of the October 15 Council meeting. The move comes following backlash over the leaked 'FIFA Forward Enterprise' (FFE) project, which proposed allowing private investors to purchase shares in the World Cup and other competitions. Infantino stated he will propose an external assessment of FIFA's governance framework and a structured consultation process to strengthen decision-making.
