CONCACAF rejects FIFA World Cup Stake sale proposal, Mexico says it will review plan

FRI, 31 JUL 2026





CONCACAF rejected FIFA’s World Cup stake sale proposal during a meeting on Thursday ​but stopped short of following UEFA’s plan to ‌boycott the global showcase, while the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) said it would study the proposal before deciding its position.

The ​regional bloc for North America, Central America ​and the Caribbean said its 41 member associations expressed “deep ⁠concerns” about the lack of due process ​surrounding the proposal, a short deadline and the absence ​of any review or approval by relevant FIFA governance bodies.

“The discussion reinforced the need for greater transparency and proper governance,” ​CONCACAF said in a press release. “For these ​reasons, CONCACAF and its 41 Member Associations have: Rejected the proposal.”

The ‌FMF ⁠later said FIFA had informed it of the proposal on July 28 and would provide member associations with additional information and documentation through a ​series of round ​tables before ⁠a decision is made.

“The FMF will complete this process of study and ​analysis in order to take the decision ​that ⁠best serves the development of Mexican football,” the federation added in a statement, without saying whether it ⁠supported ​CONCACAF’s decision to reject the ​proposal.
