Fight in world football
UEFA and CONCACAF put pressure on Gianni Infantino. He is the boss of the world football group FIFA. The groups write a letter to him. They want much money for all 211 groups.
Every group gets 10 million US dollars. This is 2.1 billion US dollars in total. The money comes from the savings of FIFA. FIFA has about 6 billion dollars saved after the world cup.
The money helps to build sport sites. Football growth gets paid with the money too. Critics say: FIFA needs no new investors. FIFA has enough own money.
Criticism on Gianni Infantino
Many football bosses are unhappy with Gianni Infantino. He wants to sell parts of football games to firms. He stops this plan after much criticism. Now experts check a legal charge against him.
In March 2027 is the next election for the FIFA boss. UEFA wants a new candidate. One name is Victor Montagliani from Canada. Until November 18 a new candidate must be ready.
The German football group wants that Infantino leaves too. The bosses say: The money belongs to the national groups. FIFA must check the money now.
