## Key points

- Fifa council members can inspect documents on the abandoned World Cup sell-off plan.
- The documents will be viewed in person under confidentiality conditions.
- Uefa says key questions about Fifa’s decision-making remain unanswered.

## Summary

Fifa will allow members of its council to inspect documents about a proposed sale of stakes in the World Cup to private investors, after the plan was abandoned. The move follows pressure from Uefa, which said Fifa had not explained how the proposal was developed or why the council was not involved at the appropriate stage.

Fifa secretary general Mattias Grafstrom said council members can view documents in person at the organisation’s Zurich headquarters, subject to confidentiality conditions, and must register their interest within two weeks. It is unclear which documents will be included. Uefa’s deadline covered more than 100 questions on Fifa’s governance and other decisions; legal action Uefa began in the United States may also limit what Fifa can disclose. The dispute comes ahead of the deadline for candidates to enter next year’s Fifa presidential election.
