Noel Mooney, the chief executive of the Football Association of Wales, has challenged the notion that FIFA is planning significant reforms. He noted that FIFA President Gianni Infantino's recent letter to national associations discusses an external review focused on strategic projects rather than a comprehensive reform of the organization itself.

Mooney emphasized the need for FIFA to prioritize grassroots development over private investment in competitions. He reiterated that the FAW would not support Infantino's candidacy for re-election in 2027, highlighting concerns about the direction of FIFA's leadership.
