FIFA is planning the World Cup: UEFA is going to hold an emergency meeting on Thursday

After widespread condemnation of both the proposals and the way they were created, FIFA released an eight-page document on Wednesday evening outlining the reasons.

FIFA said its opinion was that “too little of football’s growing commercial value has reached the parts of the game that need it the most.”

The sum being said is more than what some member associations spend each year and questions have been raised regarding the audit of the money handed over by FIFA in some parts of the world.

Despite this, Infantino feels the proposals will contribute to funding for “better pitches, stronger national teams, more avenues for young players and greater support for women’s football”.

In a video released by FIFA on Wednesday, Infantino called the plans “not an obligation, but an offer.”

He added, “The democratic process – the consultation process – is, above all, an opportunity, not an obligation.”

“It’s a golden opportunity to charge the development of the game on a global scale.”

For the first time, FIFA has announced the qualification of Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan for the World Cup; Although this is partly due to the positive benefits of expanding the competition to 48 teams.

FIFA cited Formula 1, LaLiga, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga as examples of other sports organizations using “certain commercial activities”.

He says that private investors will not have any influence on the World Cup.
