Uefa says boycott may still go ahead as FA withdraws Infantino support
Fifa's backing of president Gianni Infantino at a meeting on Wednesday "changes nothing", says European governing body Uefa.
European football governing body Uefa has expressed concerns over FIFA's decision to withdraw support for President Gianni Infantino, despite attempts to salvage the situation. The FA has now withdrawn its backing, citing Infantino's plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors as a breach of Uefa's conditions. Uefa maintains that Infantino's actions do not align with their stated requirements, including the withdrawal of competitive bidding for the World Cup and assurances that such practices would not be repeated.
Infantino has apologized for any mistakes but insists he will remain as FIFA president. The controversy has left Uefa in a difficult position, as they struggle to find a solution to oust Infantino and restore confidence in the organization.
