Infantino proposes an ‘independent external review’ of Fifa governance

Fifa president Gianni Infantino has agreed to commission an independent external governance review following mounting pressure from council members and national associations. The review was prompted by controversies surrounding the proposed Fifa Forward Enterprise sell-off and the Folarin Balogun affair, with Football Association chair Debbie Hewitt having written to Infantino demanding the release of all related documents. Infantino communicated his decision in a letter to the Fifa council and member nations, while reaffirming he is 'fully committed to leading Fifa.'
