UEFA says it will hold an emergency meeting with its 55 member associations this week to discuss FIFA’s proposed plan to bring in outside investors. Multiple outlets report that the discussion centers on FIFA offering equity stakes in major competitions, following FIFA’s announcement of plans for a new structure to manage the World Cup and other events. According to reports cited by Cyprus Mail, FIFA plans to create a $20 billion subsidiary to run the World Cup and related competitions, and to offer stakes to external parties as part of the proposal. UEFA’s initiative comes as member associations seek clarification and review the implications of the plan. The outlets describe UEFA’s move as a response to concerns around the investment proposal, which they characterize as controversial. While the reports do not detail UEFA’s position beyond calling the meeting, they agree on the key elements: the meeting involves UEFA’s 55 associations and is intended to examine FIFA’s proposed sale of equity to outside investors connected to the World Cup and other FIFA events.
