Sports3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported44m ago
European football governing body UEFA announced on Thursday that it will maintain its boycott of the men's and women's World Cups. The decision comes despite FIFA's crisis meeting, subsequent apology, and the withdrawal of a controversial plan to open up competitions to private investment.
In a statement published on August 6, UEFA stated that the latest concessions from FIFA and a backdown on private investment were not enough to resolve the ongoing dispute. The European body explicitly stated that it has lost confidence in the FIFA presidency led by Gianni Infantino.
