> UEFA and CONCACAF leaders are urging FIFA president Gianni Infantino to distribute about $2.1 billion from the governing body’s reserves, giving each of its 211 member associations $10 million during the 2027-30 cycle. The demand follows tensions over Infantino’s shelved proposal to sell a World Cup stake to private investors after European football’s backlash.
