Infantino Proposes $24 Million for Each FIFA Member Federation in New Funding Plan

Questioned Fifa boss Gianni Infantino wants the 211 member associations to receive 250 million kronor (about $24 million) each in the future. The Swiss proposes a new fund of around 64.5 billion kronor (about $6.1 billion) for the period 2027–2030.

Infantino's proposal was presented at an International Football Association Board (FIFA) meeting in Zurich on Thursday.

"During my ten years as FIFA president, we have gone from one million dollars per member association to 25 million dollars each - worldwide," Infantino said in a press release.

Infantino is seeking re-election for another four years, but several major federations and continental confederations want new leadership following his now-scrapped plans to sell shares in the World Cup to private investors. There have also been calls for FIFA to distribute more funds from its cash reserves.

Decisions on the billion-dollar fund will be made at the congress in March.
