Former England Women's National Football Team player and sports investor, Eni Aluko, says UEFA's plans to boycott FIFA tournaments if President Gianni Infantino proceeds with his plans to sell stakes in a new commercial entity to investors shows a "lack of consultation" by football's world governing body. FIFA’s proposal plans to transfer major commercial and tournament operations into a new entity called FIFA Forward Enterprise. The vehicle would initially be valued at about $20 billion, with FIFA seeking to raise as much as $4.2 billion from outside investors while retaining sole control through majority representation on its board. Aluko discussed the fallout from the FIFA proposal with Francine Lacqua on "The Pulse".
