  • The proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise was intended to manage the commercial and operational sides of competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups, with 20% to be sold to private investors.

  • UEFA said its member nations would boycott FIFA events, while CONCACAF rejected the plan, the AFC called for an urgent governance review and CONMEBOL sought additional information.

  • The plans led to the resignation of senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro, while FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour portrayed the initiative as being driven by one person.

  • Infantino said he intended to reunite the parties involved in the coming days and weeks, while the AFC welcomed the withdrawal and called for consultation and dialogue with football bodies.
  • This was an outrageous suggestion. The idea that it could even be brought forward shows that, in my view, (Infantino) is the wrong man to lead the organisation.
    — Andy Burnham, UK Prime Minister, said on Friday in response to FIFA's private-investment proposal for the World Cup.
