The Asian Football Confederation has added its voice to those of Uefa and Concacaf in opposing Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell stakes in the World Cup, and said the game’s governing body needed to urgently review its management style.In a lengthy statement released on Friday, the confederation, which represents 47 member associations, said it had “serious concerns” over Fifa’s proposal to introduce private investment into its flagship competitions.Infantino’s proposed US$20 billion commercial subsidiary for Fifa events, backed by New York-based investor Joshua Kushner, “cannot realistically achieve the necessary broad consensus and unity required to move forward” and must be reconsidered, the AFC said in a statement.“Accordingly, the AFC calls upon Fifa to undertake an urgent review of its governance and decision-making framework,” the AFC said.On Thursday, Uefa voted unanimously to boycott all ‌Fifa tournaments, while Concacaf, the regional federation for ‌North America, Central America and the ⁠Caribbean, ⁠rejected the proposal.“In light of the ‌clear positions expressed by Uefa and Concacaf, ‌as ‌well as the unprecedented divisions ‌that have emerged across the ⁠football world, the AFC believes that ⁠the proposed FFE [Fifa Forward Enterprise] cannot realistically achieve the necessary broad ‌consensus and ‌unity required to move forward,” the AFC added.The AFC has urged Fifa to review its governance and decision-making framework.
