Soccer-FIFPRO Europe Calls for FIFA Reform After Infantino’s Failed Proposal
- On Monday, FIFPRO Europe demanded reforms to FIFA's decision-making structures, arguing that the abandoned Forward Enterprise proposal exposed dangerous flaws in how global football is governed.
- FIFA President Gianni Infantino unveiled the FFE proposal earlier this year before withdrawing it amid widespread opposition, as the union claimed the initiative would have converted competitions into assets for private capital.
- European clubs employed 856 players at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, representing 94 per cent of the tournament's total player value, while prize money for participating countries fell to about 7.7 per cent in 2026 from 10.5 per cent in 2006.
- To protect football's 'critical infrastructure,' FIFPRO Europe called for an independent review of FIFA Council decision-making and urged the formal inclusion of players, clubs, and leagues in governance.
- The union argued that any solidarity mechanism must be shaped jointly by stakeholders across the game, stating, "Any future proposal to grow solidarity funding should be built together, through trusted governance, not advanced unilaterally.
