The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has announced its decision to boycott all FIFA tournaments until plans to sell stakes in the World Cup are halted. This move follows an emergency meeting of UEFA's 55 member associations, all of whom voted in favor of the boycott. The decision has significant implications for world football and the plans of FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
In response, FIFA has stated that 'nobody is selling football,' but has stopped short of withdrawing the controversial plan, opting instead to continue with the consultation period. The boycott could have far-reaching consequences, including the potential for UEFA to establish its own version of the World Cup, inviting top teams from around the world to participate. This development has sparked a heated debate within the football community, with many questioning Infantino's leadership and the future of FIFA under his presidency.
