Infantino’s plans to form a commercial subsidiary, which would be called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), running competitions like the World Cup and Club World Cup was first reported by The Times of London. The men’s World Cup that finished this month only deepened the political and personal ties between Trump and Infantino, and fuelled concerns about those ties including from UEFA. “This is about the democratization of football worldwide,” Infantino said in a FIFA statement, which added that “a consultation process has begun.” Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 World Cup and largely funded the revamped men’s Club World Cup hosted in the U.S. last year. FIFA is scheduled to hold an online congress on Nov. 23 to confirm hosts of the Women’s World Cup editions in 2031 and 2035.
