UEFA is reportedly prepared to withdraw its threat to boycott FIFA competitions following assurances regarding the governance and financial structure of world football. The shift in position comes after receiving guarantees that there will be no future attempts to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, a plan previously championed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
The development marks a significant de-escalation in tensions between European football's governing body and the global governing body. Additionally, the diplomatic landscape within FIFA has shifted as Italy has withdrawn its support for Infantino, contributing to the easing of the standoff between the organizations.
