The FIFA has confirmed that the collaboration with Kevin Lamour has been terminated. Lamour, operational director of FIFA since November 2024, expressed concerns about the FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan in an interview. He stated that FIFA employees were misled about the project. This claim may have contributed to his departure. Lamour acknowledged that his statements might cost him his job, saying he would understand and respect that decision. Top advisor Carlos Cordeiro resigned in July after expressing opposition to the FFE plan, making Lamour's departure the second high-profile exit from the FIFA due to the conflict surrounding the plan.
