The confederation said it understands that developing football requires commercial and financial decisions
The South American Football Confederation asked FIFA on Friday for additional information and clarification on the FIFA Forward Enterprise project, without coming out for or against it, a day after the confederations of Europe and of North and Central America and the Caribbean rejected the plan.
In a statement published on its website and social media, the body, based in Luque, Paraguay, said it had requested details on the scope, structure, governance and potential effects of the initiative. It added that it had begun a consultation process with its ten member associations and convened a meeting of its Council to assess the proposal.
The confederation said it understands that developing football requires commercial and financial decisions, but that such decisions must always serve the game and never override its essence. It said it would continue acting with prudence and through institutional channels, and called for unity across the football family.
