    Fifa says ‘nobody selling football’ as in continues with controversial World Cup investment plan

    Fifa wants to create a commercial subsidiary to run its main events, including its World Cups, and external investors will be able to buy stakes in it.

    It said it would “invite third parties to make minority, non-controlling investments” in a new subsidiary – Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE).

    On Friday, Fifa said FFE had been proposed “to ensure all Fifa member associations have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of the commercial opportunity of football in their respective countries”.

    “This does not come at the cost of either the spirit or the governance of Fifa or football itself,” it added.

    However, Uefa has accused Fifa of using football “to enrich themselves and their friends”.

    Infantino previously wrote to Fifa members saying they will receive $40m (£30m) if they back his controversial proposal. He set a deadline of 19 September for federations to accept his plans if they want to access an initial $20m (£15m).

    If approval is granted, Fifa says Thrive Eternal is expected to lead the proposed investor group for FFE.

    Thrive is an American venture capital firm founded by Joshua Kushner – the brother of US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared.
