UEFA and CONCACAF have asked FIFA to pay $10 million to each of its 211 member associations, drawing on reserves accumulated after the World Cup, according to SFGATE. The two confederations are pressing the case as part of an effort to challenge FIFA President Gianni Infantino, SFGATE reports.
The request was made by UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin and CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani, who asked fellow confederations to back a larger payout from FIFA's reserves, according to Inside World Football. The News International reported the demand involves $2.1 billion from those reserves.
Separately, the Football Association urged Infantino to release documents, The Express Tribune reported. The BBC also covered the confederations' call for the $10 million payments to all member countries.
The figures reflect the scale of FIFA's post-World Cup financial position and the pressure its leadership now faces from within its own membership. The dispute sets two of the game's largest confederations against the president's administration over how the organization's money should be shared among national federations.
What to watch next is whether other confederations join the push and how FIFA responds to the demand for both the payments and the documents.
