- 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.
