European football's governing body Uefa and Prime Minister Andy Burnham have criticised proposals from Fifa to seek private investment in its competitions, including the World Cup. Fifa - the sport's global governing body - said it intends to expand "football development funding" to more than $10bn (£7.5bn) and invite third-party investment in a new venture. In a lengthy statement outlining the proposals, Fifa says it will "invite third parties to make minority, non-controlling investments" in a new subsidiary - Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) - to "consolidate" its commercial and event operations. In its statement, Fifa did say Infantino and the rest of the organisation "has a duty" to control the development of the project. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.
