Uefa boycott right thing for future of game - Bronze

Fifa president Gianni Infantino proposed selling stakes in competitions to private investors, prompting 55 European football associations to boycott his organization's events until the proposals were withdrawn. France remains committed to competing in the Under-20 Women's World Cup in Poland, despite the threat of a Uefa boycott.

The tournament starts in 29 days, with England, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and hosts Poland all scheduled to take part. Women's football would be the first to be significantly affected if the boycott were to go ahead. England defender Lucy Bronze believes a Uefa boycott would be the right thing for the future of the game, emphasizing the importance of protecting the sport for future generations.
