Europe considers boycott over Infantino's investment
Global soccer is facing an unprecedented crisis due to a disagreement between FIFA (the International Federation) and UEFA (the European Union) over their plan to establish a new commercial entity worth $20 billion, aimed at raising $4.2 billion to develop the game worldwide. UEFA rejects the project, warning that it crosses a red line and threatens the very nature of football management, while FIFA insists that the plan will provide new resources to enhance the development of the game and its infrastructure, with FIFA maintaining full control over tournament management and revenue. Reports are circulating about the possibility of Europe boycotting the World Cup as a provocative step, marking the greatest institutional crisis the sport has faced.
