UEFA says World Cup boycott threat remains despite FIFA U-turn

UEFA has reaffirmed its threat to boycott World Cup tournaments despite FIFA's apology for its abandoned plan to privatize revenue from the World Cup. UEFA stated that its conditions, withdrawal of the proposal to sell major competitions and guarantees against future similar actions, have not been met. The European governing body also expressed a loss of confidence in FIFA President Gianni Infantino, despite FIFA's efforts to unify its leadership following a recent summit. Additional pressure comes from FIFPRO, the English Football Association, and Amnesty International, all criticizing Infantino's leadership. While FIFA claims to have restored confidence, UEFA remains firm in its stance, though it has not confirmed whether teams will participate in upcoming FIFA events like the Women’s Under-20 World Cup.
