While world football focuses on the 2026 World Cup, a quiet but weighty legal battle is unfolding at a Manhattan federal court. UEFA has filed objections against the attempt by three FIFA subsidiaries – including FWC2026 US Inc – to intervene in the discovery process UEFA initiated under 28 U.S.C. § 1782. UEFA seeks documents and testimony from Thrive Capital Management and founder Joshua Kushner, private investors who were approached regarding the proposed permanent sale of commercial and operational rights in FIFA's World Cup and other events – the FIFA Forward Enterprise plan. The core of the dispute centers on UEFA's argument that these subsidiaries lack direct legal interest and are mere stand-ins for the Swiss parent. The article analyzes the legal strategy, the risks to FIFA President Gianni Infantino (who denies wrongdoing and has not been charged), the political linkage of Kushner/Trump, and the broader implications for football governance and private-capital appetite for flagship assets. With no ruling yet on either motion, the case remains a high-stakes procedural contest with potential criminal consequences.
