Europeans abandon FIFA boycott threat
The European Football Union (UEFA) is moving away from its threat to boycott FIFA tournaments after the latter confirmed that it will not return to its plan to sell shares of the World Cup and major competitions, according to sources, following FIFA's withdrawal of its controversial proposal in July. UEFA intends to inform union presidents during a meeting in Monaco that the conditions it has set, including withdrawing the proposal and ensuring it is not reintroduced, will prevent escalation and avoid the cancellation of major tournaments. Tensions with FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the share sales continue. UEFA is still exerting pressure to secure changes, especially as national teams prepare to participate in the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, which is set to begin in September.
