FIFA could disburse millions to members as Infantino seeks re-election

FIFA President Gianni Infantino plans to discuss the disbursement of millions of dollars to member associations at the FIFA Council meeting on October 15, as he seeks re-election in March. Infantino stated he would support additional funding that is responsibly delivered, transparent, and fair, consolidating proposals for a comprehensive assessment by the FIFA Council. This move appears to be an effort to appease regional football bodies and secure his position amid growing opposition and criticism, despite having confirmed his candidacy amid legal threats.
