The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) joins UEFA and CONCACAF in opposing FIFA’s proposed plan to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors. Multiple outlets report that the AFC announces it “stands in solidarity” with UEFA and CONCACAF against the investment proposal, which is described as controversial. The move adds to a growing coalition of confederations questioning FIFA’s approach and the impact of bringing private capital into football competitions. While FIFA has support for its broader World Cup investment plans, the opposition now comes from at least three major confederations: UEFA in Europe, CONCACAF in North and Central America and the Caribbean, and the AFC in Asia. The reports frame the dispute as part of wider disagreement over how FIFA should finance and manage football events, with opponents aligning their position around concerns about selling stakes in competitions. The sources do not provide details of FIFA’s final proposal terms in the excerpts, but they consistently state that AFC’s position is in line with UEFA and CONCACAF’s stance against the plan.
