Fifa has announced that its Council members will have access to key documents regarding president Gianni Infantino's unsuccessful plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors. This decision follows a demand from Uefa for clarity on the controversial Fifa Forward Enterprise proposal, with a deadline set for November 2 to address numerous governance-related questions.

Infantino has faced criticism for the lack of transparency surrounding the proposal, which was abandoned after significant backlash. Uefa's letter highlighted the need for accountability and answers regarding the decision-making process, emphasizing that future governance reforms cannot replace scrutiny of past actions.
