Uefa set to lift Fifa boycott threat as Italy drops support for Infantino
Uefa has sought Fifa's withdrawal of the proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup and other major competitions, as well as assurances that similar plans would not be pursued again.
Uefa is set to lift its threat to boycott Fifa tournaments following Italy's withdrawal of support for leader Gianni Infantino's candidacy in the upcoming presidential election. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) withdrew its backing for Infantino, signaling its alignment with Uefa's president, Aleksander Ceferin, on the issue.
Uefa is expected to confirm the conditions for ending the boycott during a meeting in Monaco on Thursday, with the aim of avoiding disruption to young players and the integrity of their competitions. Despite mounting pressure from three confederations urging Infantino to resign, including Uefa, the Asian Football Confederation, and CONCACAF, Infantino remains supported by the African and South American confederations.
