CONMEBOL on Thursday welcomes FIFA’s withdrawal of a “private investor plan,” but says it is concerned about “repeated unilateral actions” taken by FIFA. In a statement, CONMEBOL’s council notes it “unanimously” expresses concern that actions are carried out without resorting to dialogue or established institutional mechanisms for handling situations of this kind. The comments come after FIFA announced the private investor plan, which was later withdrawn. Separate reports say the criticism also reflects reactions from other football confederations, which said they were not consulted or only learned about the plan after it was announced. While one outlet notes CONMEBOL is often viewed as supportive of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, it still aligns with broader concerns raised elsewhere in the sport’s governance structure. The reported remarks focus on process and communication, not on specific financial or sporting outcomes of the plan itself.
