FIFA chief Gianni Infantino’s close relationship with Trump has previously drawn criticism from members of the European Parliament.
Earlier this month, 90 MEPs signed two letters challenging the organization over actions they said undermined the governing body’s political neutrality.
Bogdan Zdrojewski, the European Parliament’s lead lawmaker on the European Sport Model, also told POLITICO Playbook that Infantino should also be invited to appear before lawmakers.
Under the proposal, FIFA would transfer its commercial rights and tournament operations to a new subsidiary called FIFA Forward Enterprise.
Private investors, led by Kushner’s venture capital firm, would acquire roughly 20 percent of that company, while FIFA would retain control.
