Football's world governing body expects to receive the first funding generated by president Gianni Infantino's controversial sell-off plans by the end of October.
Infantino has proposed the creation of a subsidiary body to run Fifa tournaments, which would include some outside investment.
Three of the 2026 World Cup semi-finalists are among Uefa's 55 members.
However, the World Leagues organisation, chaired by Premier League chief executive Richard Masters, feels Fifa is acting beyond its remit.
It concluded: "The World Leagues Association asks Fifa to withdraw its project and reiterates the need for a fundamental change in Fifa's decision-making processes."
