Leaders of UEFA and CONCACAF, two of football's six continental confederations, have challenged FIFA over the size of its financial reserves, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The confederation chiefs have called on FIFA President Gianni Infantino to make a payout of $2.1bn to the organization's 211 member associations, the report said, which would amount to roughly $10m for each member.
Al Jazeera did not specify further details of the demand, including the timeline for the requested payout, the current size of FIFA's reserves, or any formal response from FIFA or Infantino.
FIFA has not issued a public statement on the matter as of this report.
