FIFA released an official statement confirming that FIFA management held a meeting in Rabat, reaffirming its support for President Infantino, and discussing matters related to improving workflows and the withdrawal of the FIFA Forward Enterprise program proposal.

Attendees included FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Secretary General Mattias Grafström, and members of FIFA's Management Board.

The meeting focused on the need to improve relevant processes following the withdrawal of the FIFA Forward Enterprise program proposal.

Following the meeting, FIFA's Secretary General and attending Management Board members reaffirmed their full support for FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Infantino is the sole official elected by FIFA's 211 member associations. Infantino also reaffirmed his full support for FIFA's Secretary General and administration, thanking them for the necessary and excellent work they have done to realize his vision.

Meeting participants discussed and agreed that the processes, communication, and interaction between the FIFA President, Secretary General, and Management Board in implementing this vision must continuously improve in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.

The meeting acknowledged the outstanding work of FIFA's administration in the successful delivery of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The event's success was achieved through united voices and collective effort from the FIFA President, Secretary General, and administration.

FIFA's senior management is confident that this meeting will strengthen FIFA's governance, help restore external trust in the organization, and prepare FIFA in a unified and transparent manner for important upcoming events and challenges, while continuing to promote the global development of football.

The meeting also addressed the FIFA Forward Enterprise program proposal and acknowledged errors within it. Participants agreed that FIFA's Council and member associations were inadvertently excluded from the process, and the relevant procedures should have been handled differently. The meeting also acknowledged that subsequent handling involved errors after the proposal was revealed by the media.

FIFA has apologized for these mistakes in separate correspondence to FIFA's Council and member associations and has committed to ensuring that similar issues do not occur again. FIFA will conduct a review and submit a report at the next scheduled Council meeting.

As previously announced, the FIFA Forward Enterprise program proposal, which would have required approval from FIFA member associations and the Council, has now been withdrawn. With the project's cancellation, FIFA has stated it will not tolerate any attacks that compromise the integrity, governance, and legal procedures of the organization, and will take all necessary measures to protect and defend FIFA's reputation and standing.

FIFA stated that every experience provides lessons, and it will continue to improve relevant processes based on this incident. However, FIFA emphasizes that despite errors in the process, all actions taken were fully compliant with FIFA's regulatory framework.

FIFA will work closely with relevant stakeholders to explore how to further support football development through the FIFA Forward program, which benefits FIFA's 211 member associations, continental confederations, and regional associations.
