European leaders urge FIFA reforms
The top European leagues (English, Spanish, Italian, German) have called for reforms to the governance of FIFA, with the aim of restructuring its powers and ensuring its independence, especially amid the current crisis resulting from attempts to establish a subsidiary commercial company that manages major tournaments like the World Cup. These calls come amid increasing pressure from various parties on FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The leagues are demanding the creation of a permanent body representing associations, clubs, and players, responsible for decision-making within FIFA, with a separation between commercial functions and organizational ones to ensure transparency and neutrality. They also emphasize the need for extensive consultations and the preparation of public reports in the upcoming months before the FIFA presidential elections scheduled for March 2027, amid pressure from other federations calling for Infantino's departure.
