Uefa boycott right thing for future of game - Bronze

Uefa's threat to boycott Fifa competitions has led to debate about the future of the sport. England defender Lucy Bronze believes the Uefa boycott would be the right thing for the future of the game. Bronze spoke to BBC Sport while on Chelsea's pre-season tour in New Zealand. She emphasized that the players who compete in these competitions, particularly European players, stand by their beliefs and the importance of the right thing for the game's future.

Bronze spoke about the impact this could have on women's football, particularly for little girls and boys who come after them. Former England defender Anita Asante also spoke about the potential impact on women's football, warning that it could be the first to be affected if Uefa's stance is upheld. Baroness Campbell, former Football Association director of women's football, expressed sadness that women's football could be the first to suffer.

The English FA has withdrawn its support for Infantino, and other associations have also turned their back on the president.
