UEFA to lift boycott threat of FIFA tournaments as pressure on Gianni Infantino remains, per reports

European soccer governing body UEFA is reportedly set to drop its threat to boycott FIFA tournaments. The decision follows reports that UEFA received assurances regarding the future governance and sale of tournament stakes.

The boycott threat originally arose in response to FIFA President Gianni Infantino's controversial plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors. According to sources, UEFA's reversal comes after receiving assurances that there will be no repetition of such proposals, though pressure on Infantino regarding the matter is said to remain.
