UEFA have confirmed their boycott of future World Cup tournaments still stands, delivering a significant setback to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who continues to face intense pressure over his leadership.
Boycott Confirmed
European football's governing body had previously announced plans to boycott future World Cups in response to Infantino's proposals to sell off stakes in FIFA tournaments to private investors. The confirmation that this boycott remains in place represents a major blow to the beleaguered FIFA chief.
Infantino Under Pressure
Infantino is still clinging onto his position amidst mounting criticism over his handling of FIFA's commercial strategies. The decision by UEFA underscores the deepening rift between European football authorities and FIFA's leadership.
This is a developing story, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
