PARIS, Sept 18 (Reuters) – UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin and CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani have called for an independent review of the global soccer body FIFA’s financial reserves and proposed that at least $10 million be made available to each of its 211 member associations in 2027-30, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Friday.
The proposal would amount to about $2.1 billion and would come on top of funding already committed under the FIFA Forward Programme, the two regional soccer chiefs, also FIFA vice-presidents, said in the letter, addressed to President Gianni Infantino.
FIFA was approached for comment.
