Fifa is set to propose a $3.4bn (£2.6bn) increase in the amount of money it hands out for football development across the world. In total, Fifa will now be spending $6.35bn (£4.83bn) on football development for the 2027-2030 cycle, with a focus on investment and development of women's and youth football.
Fifa will offer this extra money from its reserves in addition to the current $2.7bn (£2.05bn) budgeted to be paid to all 211 member associations, the confederations, regional associations and certain non-Fifa affiliated associations.
The funding breakdown includes $8.25m (£6.3m) for each of the 13 zonal/regional associations, and $1.1m (£836,000) for 100 member associations for travel and equipment solidarity, with one third allocated to women's and youth football development.
Previously, Infantino wanted to sell stakes in the World Cup and other competitions to private investors but faced huge criticism, with Uefa, Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation questioning his position. In September, Uefa and Concacaf had written to Infantino calling on Fifa to pay at least $10m (£7.5m) from its cash reserves to each of the 211 member associations.
