The European Parliament is set to call FIFA President Gianni Infantino for a hearing over his controversial plan to allow private investment in its competitions, which has met with furious backlash in the football world and led European football associations to threaten a boycott of the next World Cup.
A draft letter obtained by Euronews and now circulating among MEPs from all political groups is inviting Infantino to answer lawmakers' questions directly, in the spirit of "transparency and democratic accountability that FIFA has itself publicly endorsed".
