Following an emergency meeting Wednesday in Rabat, Morocco, the world football's governing body acknowledged mistakes in both the handling of the proposal and its response after details were leaked to the media. FIFA said the process "should have been handled differently", apologised for the errors and pledged to ensure they "do not happen again". It also confirmed the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal is now "off the table". Despite this, European football's governing body UEFA on Thursday refused to lift its threatened boycott of the World Cup, saying it had lost confidence in FIFA president Gianni Infantino and that the conditions it set for reversing its position had not been met.

According to the BBC, FIFA offered its 211 member associations $40 million to back the proposal. The plan also drew scrutiny over its links to the Trump family, with media reports naming Thrive Eternal, led by Joshua Kushner (Jared's younger brother) as the main investment fund.
