Uefa would reportedly not have been satisfied “only” with the failure of FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), which Infantino had been trying to push forward and which would have guaranteed him a hefty salary. 

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

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

The initiative was promptly rejected by Uefa, the only confederation to announce a boycott of tournaments organized by FIFA.

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 lawsuit would be filed. 


525% salary increase 🤯

 The Times made another revelation: Infantino’s possible earnings if he were to take charge of FIFA Forward Enterprise.

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

It is worth noting that FIFA released 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% salary increase.
