Infantino makes bigger cash pledge to FIFA members

Gianni Infantino has indicated a greater amount of money could be distributed to FIFA members from its estimated FJ$13.1 billion cash reserves.

In a letter seen by BBC Sport, and sent to the governing body's six continental confederations on Monday, FIFA president Infantino said he would support "the greatest level of additional funding that can responsibly be delivered".

Infantino has come under increasing pressure over his aborted FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan, which proposed selling stakes in the World Cup and other competitions to private investors, sparking a major backlash.

His letter comes after UEFA and CONCACAF - the confederations for Europe and North America, Central America and the Caribbean - demanded FICA pays FJ$22.4 million to all 211 members from its reserves.

The proposal will be considered by the FIFA Council when they meet on 16th October.
