CONMEBOL has finally broken its silence on FIFA’s plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
In an official statement titled Football First, the South American governing body said it has launched consultations with its ten member associations and called a Council meeting to review the matter.
While CONMEBOL acknowledges that the development of football also involves financial decisions, it firmly stresses that these must always serve the game, not replace its essence.
To conduct a thorough analysis, the organization led by Alejandro Domínguez has officially asked FIFA for additional information on the scope, structure, governance, and potential consequences of the project.
While stating that it wants to act cautiously and in a spirit of institutional dialogue, CONMEBOL is calling on the entire football family to remain united.
According to information from Brazilian outlet Globo, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) also appears to be leaning toward rejecting the project backed by Gianni Infantino.
This position comes amid a growing rift within world football. UEFA has already announced that it would boycott FIFA competitions if the project goes ahead, while CONCACAF has officially rejected it .
The AFC (Asia) has also shown solidarity with the European and North American positions. Meanwhile, the CAF (Africa) and the OFC (Oceania) have not yet finalized their stance, but have called meetings to examine the matter.
