FIFA, which this year held a 48-team World Cup across the US, Canada and Mexico that was the biggest in the tournament’s history, would retain control of the enterprise, but offer minority stakes to private investors to raise up to $4.2 billion.

According to a proposal FIFA sent around to member associations, FIFA plans to begin formally soliciting investors through its Fast Forward Program in August, with initial expressions of interest due in September and binding commitments expected in October as it targets completing the fundraising by the end of that month. ‘Lack of due process’ “CONCACAF was only made aware of this matter through media reports and, subsequently, via a media release.
