FIFA is the world association for football. The boss is Gianni Infantino. He has a new plan. He wants to make his own company. The company is FIFA Forward Enterprise. This company should earn money with football games. For example with ads or tickets.
Investors should buy parts of this company. Investors are people or companies with much money. They give money and want more money back later. FIFA wants to get many billion dollars. The 211 football associations in the world should agree to the plan. For this, FIFA promises much money to every association.
Many people think the plan is bad. UEFA is the football association for Europe. It says: People must not sell football. Also the boss of football in Austria is against it. His name is Josef Prahl. Critics say: Because of the plan, there are maybe too many games soon. This is bad for the players and the fans.
The associations must decide fast. They have 53 days time for an answer. The time ends on September 19. Gianni Infantino wants that the plan starts in the year 2027. Some people think: He wants to stay powerful through the new company even after his time as boss.
