FIFA+ is free and the only comparable paid-format competitor (Football Politics Substack) shows 'hundreds of subscribers' willing to pay, while most governance news is already surfaced for free in mainstream sports media — weak willingness-to-pay signal.About - Football Politics ↗FIFA+ Streaming App Moves to DAZN as World Cup Soccer Begins Play ↗
FIFA/UEFA are permanent institutions, but consumer attention is event-driven (World Cup 2026 cycle, Champions League reforms) and episodic — engagement will spike around major decisions and fade otherwise.UEFA moves to give players and fans a voice at the heart of debates ↗
Public federation press releases, disciplinary pages and committee minutes are openly available (e.g. UEFA disciplinary hub), so an aggregation + plain-English translation product is technically straightforward — the bottleneck is sustained editorial labor, not engineering.Disciplinary matters | UEFA.com ↗Inside FIFA ↗
