Fifa forward enterprise

FIFA Fast Forward Programme: The Football Association (FA) stated that it is "deeply concerned" about FIFA's plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors.

FIFA has proposed creating a commercial subsidiary and selling minority stakes to private investors to fund a sharp increase in development funding for its 211 member associations via FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a new FIFA-owned and controlled subsidiary consolidating FIFA’s commercial and event operations.

This plan draw fierce criticism from UEFA, with European associations expected to meet this week to discuss their response.
