English FA president Debbie Hewitt has reportedly demanded a full investigation into FIFA’s abandoned proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, asking for all related documents to be disclosed before the next FIFA Council meeting.

The supplied report says Hewitt wants an independent review despite FIFA cancelling the proposal. It also says UEFA, the Asian confederation and CONCACAF have pursued legal action over the plan, while several federations have withdrawn previous support for Gianni Infantino.
