The English Football Association (FA) has expressed deep concerns regarding FIFA's recent announcement to establish a commercial subsidiary aimed at selling stakes in major football competitions. This proposal, which reportedly has ties to the family of former US President Donald Trump, has sparked significant backlash from UEFA, which argues that the World Cup should not be treated as a tradable asset. The FA stated that they were unaware of the proposal and lack substantive details about its implications. They emphasized the need for transparency and governance in the decision-making process. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham also weighed in, asserting that football is not a commodity to be sold. FIFA's new subsidiary, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), aims to attract long-term investors while retaining control over football governance and competition decisions.
