Uefa would reportedly not have been satisfied with ā€œjustā€ the failure of FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), which Infantino was trying to push through and which would have guaranteed him a hefty salary.Ā 

According to The Telegraph, the body that runs European football is considering suing the Fifa president.

FFE would be a company set up to manage the commercial rights to the World Cup and then sell them to private investors.

The initiative was promptly rejected by the European bloc, which announced a boycott of tournaments organized by Fifa until FFE collapsed.Ā 

Led by Aleksander Ceferin, Uefa reportedly requested that no evidence related to the project be destroyed, for example.

Uefa did not say, however, on what legal grounds the possible action would be based.Ā 


525% salary increase 🤯

Ā The Times, meanwhile, made another revelation: Infantino’s potential earnings if he took charge of FIFA Forward Enterprise.

It would be $30 million a year in salary, in addition to possible bonuses.

It is worth remembering that Fifa published its financial report in June this year, which states that Infantino received $4.6 million throughout 2025.

If the FFE project had been approved, he would have received a 525% pay rise.
