FIFA Secretary-General Mattias Grafström writes to staff following controversy around Gianni Infantino’s proposal to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors. According to reports, Grafström acknowledges a period of “turmoil” inside the organization and seeks to reassure FIFA employees amid uncertainty. In the letter, he notes that “individuals come and go,” a line described by outlets as an attempt to set expectations for ongoing personnel and organizational changes. While the message is framed as supportive, at least one account suggests the wording may also signal further instability or developments ahead for FIFA. The correspondence comes as Infantino’s plan attracts scrutiny and debate, placing additional pressure on FIFA’s internal governance and decision-making processes. The outlets agree that the key development is Grafström’s communication to FIFA staff and that it reflects internal efforts to manage concern and maintain stability while the proposal remains under discussion. The reports do not indicate any final decision on the proposal itself, but they describe FIFA’s efforts to address internal reaction to the controversy through direct communication from its top administrator.
