UEFA Sends Legal Preservation Notice To FIFA Over Abandoned FFE Proposal
FIFA Forward Enterprise: UEFA has confirmed that it has sent a legal preservation notice to FIFA as the fallout from the governing body's abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal continues, with the European football body keeping open the possibility of legal proceedings over the controversial plan.
The move comes days after FIFA president Gianni Infantino withdrew the FFE proposal following widespread opposition from UEFA, several continental confederations and other stakeholders. The project had proposed creating a commercial entity to manage the rights of FIFA's flagship competitions, including the FIFA World Cup, while allowing private investors to acquire an equity stake.
Confirming the development to Al Jazeera, UEFA said it had issued a document preservation letter to FIFA but declined to comment further on the matter.
