The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa has welcomed the withdrawal of the proposed FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE).
In a statement published on the AFC’s website, Al Khalifa has expected that, going forward, any initiative that has the potential to impact global football will be presented and discussed with the Confederations, the FIFA Council, Member Associations (MAs) and other stakeholders in a timely, transparent and meaningful manner.
The AFC President has said, “I am proud that all our MAs stood together and entrusted the AFC to seek answers on their behalf regarding an issue of immense importance to the future governance of world football. I thank them for their patience, solidarity and unity, and assure them that AFC will always act in their best interests.”
Shaikh Salman has added, “The future of global football must always be shaped through proper consultation, collective dialogue, and respect for the established governance structures of our game.”
“The AFC stands ready to support any initiative that strengthens the unity of the football family, contributes to the continued growth of the game globally and delivers meaningful benefits to all stakeholders,” the AFC President has pointed out.
