Sports editor Published 10 minutes ago Fifa president Gianni Infantino has proposed an external review of the governance of world football's governing body and says he is open to reform.

In a letter sent to Fifa council members, seen by BBC Sport and circulated to all of Fifa's member associations, Infantino tabled two reforms to be put to a meeting of the council next month.

As well as asking members if they wanted an external review, Infantino also suggested a "consultation period" where reforms could be discussed.

"First, I will ask the council whether it wishes to commission an independent external review of Fifa's current governance framework for major strategic initiatives and recommend potential improvements," said Infantino in the letter.
