UEFA is expected to withdraw its threat to boycott FIFA competitions following assurances regarding the future governance of football tournaments. The decision follows concerns over FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, a plan that prompted the initial boycott warning. The matter is scheduled for formal discussion at a UEFA executive committee meeting in Monaco this Thursday.
This development comes ahead of the upcoming Under-20 Women's World Cup, which is set to be hosted by Poland next month. The resolution of the dispute signals a de-escalation in tensions between the two governing bodies regarding the potential privatization of major football events.
