UEFA, Concacaf and AFC Accuse FIFA of Breaking Trust Over Abandoned Proposal

Posted : 10 August 2026

UEFA, Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have launched a major challenge to FIFA leadership, accusing the organisation and president Gianni Infantino of breaking trust through the handling of the controversial FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal.

The three confederations issued an open letter signed by their presidents and general secretaries. They argued that the dispute goes beyond the abandoned commercial proposal and concerns the integrity of football's governing structures and those entrusted with leading the sport.

The FFE plan involved creating a new company to oversee commercial and ticketing rights for FIFA competitions, including the World Cup. A 21% stake in the proposed business was intended to be sold to a private investment company, prompting strong opposition from several confederations.

The proposal was subsequently withdrawn following widespread criticism. UEFA has taken the strongest stance, including threats to boycott FIFA competitions, while the latest dispute has intensified pressure on Infantino's leadership.

Although Infantino was not directly named in the open letter, its language was highly critical of the way authority had allegedly been exercised. The confederations stressed that leadership should be regarded as a responsibility to the wider football community rather than something to be controlled or retained at all costs.

The latest development follows a FIFA statement accusing unnamed parties of conducting an ongoing campaign to undermine both the organisation and Infantino. The contrasting positions have deepened an increasingly public dispute between FIFA's leadership and several of its continental confederations. (

Reports indicate that the three confederations are also considering alternative competitions as tensions escalate. UEFA, AFC and Concacaf have reportedly discussed the possibility of organising tournaments outside the existing FIFA framework, highlighting the seriousness of the confrontation.
