FIFA will propose to its members a $6.35 billion fund for soccer development between 2027 and 2030, including a boosted amount of $25 million for each national association, two people with knowledge of the plan and a letter reviewed by The Associated Press confirmed on Tuesday. Soccer’s world governing body will use the financial success of the latest World Cup to enhance investment in football development across 211 FIFA member associations, confederations and other stakeholders, says an official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the proposal hasn’t been announced.
