Infantino stated his position in a letter addressed to FIFA's leadership. He was responding to a request from the Union of European Football Associations UEFA and other federations, which are calling for a greater redistribution of revenue. According to available data, the money could come from FIFA's estimated cash reserves of £4.4 billion. BBC News ↗
The FIFA president is also demanding transparency in the distribution of funds. He noted that none of the financial sums currently under discussion have yet been approved. The specific amount of the one-off bonus and the method of its payment are therefore not yet known. teraz.sk ↗
Infantino is facing criticism over the running of FIFA, and according to several reports, he is seeking to secure the support of member federations ahead of the elections. His offer is said to include reforms to the organization's functioning in addition to higher payments. Spiegel.de ↗
The relevant FIFA leadership will discuss the proposal. Further steps will depend on the approval of a specific financial model and on agreement between FIFA, UEFA and the other member federations. sport.sk ↗
