FA deeply concerned by FIFA plans to sell competition stakes
The English Football Association has said it is deeply concerned by FIFAs plan to sell stakes in its major competitions.FIFA announced on Tuesday proposals to set up a private company to run its competitions which would have links to the extended family of United States President Donald Trump.The announcement produced a furious backlash from European footballs governing body UEFA, which insisted the World Cup is not an asset to trade and may lead to the Confederation boycotting the tournament.We were completely unaware of this proposal and have no substantive details, including what the proposition actually is, and what conditions are attached, the FA said in a statement on Wednesday.Based on the limited information, we are deeply concerned about the lack of process and governance to get to this point, and the apparent substance and principles involved.When the proposal is shared in the full and transparent way now promised by FIFA, we will make our views clear, and comment further.
