FIFA President Gianni Infantino has ordered an assessment of proposals to increase financial support for national football associations after UEFA and CONCACAF requested a distribution of $2.1 billion from FIFA’s reserves.

The proposal calls for each of FIFA’s 211 member associations to receive at least $10 million during the 2027 to 2030 cycle, in addition to existing development funding. UEFA and CONCACAF have also called for an independent review of FIFA’s financial reserves.

Infantino said the proposed funding will not be treated as an approved commitment until the financial assessment and required approvals are completed. He has asked the continental confederations to provide their financial models, assumptions and supporting information for review.

The FIFA Council is expected to receive recommendations on the proposed additional funding by October 15 if sufficient information is available. The review will also consider the level of reserves FIFA needs to maintain its financial obligations and independence, along with eligibility, reporting and audit requirements.

The funding debate follows the withdrawal of a proposed commercial investment plan that had faced opposition from several continental confederations over concerns about consultation and decision making. Infantino said the earlier proposal was intended to generate additional resources for football rather than replace funding that could be provided from FIFA’s existing reserves.
