[Europe’s four major leagues call on FIFA to carry out “fundamental” reforms] On September 26, Europe’s four major football leagues, the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A, issued a joint statement on the 25th, saying that FIFA President Gianni Infantino “has not only failed to prevent, but has actively promoted exploitative plans” in recent years and called on FIFA to carry out “fundamental” governance reforms. The four major leagues said they need to establish a more "transparent, objective, balanced and inclusive" governance structure. Previously, FIFA's plan to promote the establishment of a "FIFA Advance Company" was abandoned due to widespread controversy. The plan involves bringing in private investors to participate in FIFA's commercial interests. Football stakeholders ultimately pushed for the plan to be withdrawn, but "the conditions that led to its emergence remain in place," the four major leagues said, calling the incident "one of the biggest abuses of power in FIFA's history."
