Fifa will allow members of its Council to view some documents related to the failed plan by president Gianni Infantino to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, BBC News reported. The outlet said Fifa has informed Council members that they will be granted access to the documents.
The BBC News summary does not describe what the documents contain, when the access will take place, or how many members will view them. It does not mention the governance questions raised by Uefa, so the sources available do not link the two matters directly.
The Guardian reported, in a story by Nick Ames, that the viewings will take place at Fifa's headquarters in Zurich. It said the documents concern the Fifa Forward Enterprise scheme, which it described as the "doomed Fifa Forward Enterprise scheme".
The Guardian also reported that Fifa has not responded directly to more than 50 questions from Uefa about its governance and recent scandals. According to the outlet, the questions were addressed to the Council, and the summary does not list them or describe any partial answers.
The Guardian said a letter was sent to the Fifa Council by Mattias Grafström. Its summary breaks off before saying what the letter states or what role Grafström holds, so the available reports do not establish those details.
The two reports agree that Council members will gain access to documents about the stake-sale plan. They differ in emphasis: BBC News focused on the plan's investors and its failure, while The Guardian focused on the Forward Enterprise scheme, the Zurich viewings and the unanswered Uefa questions. Neither report gives a timetable for further disclosures.
