Uefa plans to end its boycott of Fifa events at a meeting of continental chiefs before the Champions League draw in Monaco. The governing body will discuss next steps in its efforts to remove Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, following a controversial proposal to privatise the World Cup. Uefa will join a coalition of AFC and Concacaf to collectively control a majority of Fifa's 211 member associations, though some nations like Qatar and Mexico have sided with Infantino.
No challenger has emerged for Infantino's re-election, which is expected to happen early next year. Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin has stated he will not run for re-election. The Women's Under-20 World Cup, featuring England, is set to take place in Poland, with the Champions League draw scheduled for the evening of the same day.
