English FA Chair Hewitt Demands Infantino Release World Cup Sell-Off and Balogun Records
English Football Association chair Debbie Hewitt, who also sits on the FIFA Council as a vice-president, wrote to FIFA president Gianni Infantino demanding full disclosure of documents relating to the abandoned FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) private-investment plan to sell stakes in the World Cup, and to the decision to lift American striker Folarin Balogun's automatic red-card suspension during the tournament after a phone call from US President Donald Trump. Hewitt asked for the records to be released before the FIFA Council next meets on October 15.
