FIFA is facing widespread criticism from football governing bodies over its plan to sell a significant stake in its tournaments through a new subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE).

• FIFA intends to raise $4.2 billion by selling minority, non-controlling interests in the FFE, which would be valued at an initial $20 billion.
• UEFA, CONCACAF, and the European Union have all voiced strong opposition, calling the plan a betrayal of football's governance.
• The plan, reportedly involving investors like Thrive Capital and JP Morgan Chase, was leaked to the press and is facing scrutiny for its lack of transparency.
