Reports: UEFA Backs off FIFA Boycott Threat
UEFA is reportedly set to withdraw a threat to boycott FIFA tournaments over a plan to partially privatize football tournaments.
UEFA has dropped its threat to boycott FIFA tournaments, according to reports from Tempo.co English, The Times, the Guardian, and Reuters. The decision allows European teams to participate in the Under-20 Women's World Cup in Poland next month, after FIFA dropped its plan to sell a stake in FIFA tournaments to private investors.
UEFA had demanded assurances that such attempts to disfigure the game will never be made again, and it appears these demands have been met. UEFA will inform its 55 national associations of the tournament's go-ahead at a meeting in Monaco on Thursday.
