NewzThe Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has officially welcomed the decision by FIFA to abandon plans to sell a stake in the World Cup. The announcement follows reports that the governing body had been considering the sale of a portion of the tournament's rights.
In a formal statement released on August 1, UEFA expressed its approval of the reversal while simultaneously calling for accountability regarding the development of the proposal. The European organization criticized the nature of the initiative, characterizing it as a "secret plan" that was being processed through an expedited, "fast-track" procedure. UEFA is now demanding that those responsible for the proposal be held to account for their actions.
