Fifa’s cash plan raises concerns over past misuse

Fifa proposes selling World Cup stakes to private investors to generate over $10bn for member associations, but past funds have been misappropriated in Asia and Africa. Cases include Nigeria’s NFF failing to account for $20m, DR Congo’s Fecofoot president embezzling $1.3m, and a Caf executive banned for misappropriation. Uefa and Concacaf have opposed the plan, while Asia and Africa remain silent.
