Okay News reports that one of the options expected to be discussed is a possible boycott of the FIFA World Cup.
FIFA plans to establish a separate company, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), valued at about $20 billion, with 20 percent of the business to be offered to outside investors.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino unveiled the plan on Tuesday, triggering criticism from football authorities, clubs and former officials.
Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter warned that football risked losing its “soul” if the plan proceeds.
FIFA has reportedly given its 211 member associations until 19 September to approve the proposal, offering increased development funding to associations that support it.
