EU boycotts World Cup over FIFA plan
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) announced its rejection of the proposal submitted by the International Federation (FIFA) to involve private sector investors in the ownership of football tournaments, including the World Cup. UEFA emphasized that this proposal threatens the nature of the game, transforming it into an investment product, pointing out that the World Cup represents a global sporting legacy that should not be sold or have its future mortgaged. They also threatened that European national teams would not participate in FIFA tournaments if the proposal continues, reaffirming that the World Cup will remain the property of football and will not become a commodity to be sold. Their rejection of this model is a firm and final stance.
