UEFA Threatens to Boycott FIFA Tournaments Over World Cup Investor Plan
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
UEFA member federations agreed on Thursday to boycott all FIFA competitions in protest of Gianni Infantino's plan to sell a stake of World Cup revenues to private equity investors. "UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions," said the governing body of European football following an urgent online meeting of its 55 members. The next scheduled FIFA tournament will take place in Europe in a few weeks: the U-20 Women's World Cup, which will be held in Poland starting September 5. "Selling some things is simply unacceptable," UEFA stated in a release. "The FIFA World Cup belongs to football. It always will. And as long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale."
