Qatar FA praises FIFA's decision to freeze 'FIFA Forward Enterprise' proposal Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Thani, President of the Qatar Football Association, welcomed FIFA President Gianni Infantino's decision to halt the implementation of the 'FIFA Forward Enterprise' proposal. He emphasized that this decision directly serves the common good of the game and the international football community. ## What is the 'FIFA Forward Enterprise' proposal? The proposal, which had been under discussion in football circles, aimed to restructure FIFA's funding model for national associations. However, Infantino decided to freeze the project after extensive consultations with FIFA members, including the Qatar FA. ## Why is this decision important for Qatar FA? The Qatar FA affirmed that the unity of the football family is the top priority at this stage. They stated: 'We commend the prioritization of unity among all national associations and appreciate the high wisdom behind this decision, which serves the game both officially and popularly.' ## What are Qatar's current challenges? Currently, the Qatar national team faces challenges in the World Cup, standing fourth with just one point from three matches, recording zero wins, one draw, and two losses. They have lost their last two games, most recently against Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-1 on June 24, 2026. ## What are the next steps? The Qatar FA reaffirmed its full support for Infantino's efforts to develop football globally. They said: 'We continue to support FIFA's efforts to achieve sustainable development for the game, especially amid the current challenges.'
