Uefa maintains that World Cup boycott still stands despite Infantino’s apology
UEFA says its 55 member associations will keep boycotting FIFA competitions after the governing body withdrew its World Cup sell-off plan and apologized.
- On Thursday, UEFA reiterated its commitment to boycotting FIFA competitions, with 55 member associations remaining dissatisfied with FIFA President Gianni Infantino over unmet conditions.
- European football's governing body voted unanimously to withdraw after Infantino proposed selling minority stakes in World Cups, triggering the organization's strong opposition.
- Despite Infantino receiving leadership backing at a meeting in Morocco, UEFA emphasized that two conditions remain unfulfilled: "First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn, and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again."
- The organization dismissed yesterday's announcement that employees agree with the FIFA President, stating that those whose careers depend on his favor change nothing regarding UEFA's stance.
- UEFA made it abundantly clear that it has lost confidence in Infantino's presidency, asserting the global governing body has failed to meet necessary requirements for renewed collaboration.
