UEFA maintains threat to boycott the football World Cup
UEFA says it is not backing down from its threat to boycott the football World Cup as long as Gianni Infantino remains FIFA president, stating he has lost the organization's trust.
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is standing firm on its threat to boycott the football World Cup for as long as Gianni Infantino continues to serve as president of FIFA, football's international governing body.
UEFA representatives recently stressed that Infantino has lost the organization's trust. They stated that his announcement abandoning plans to sell broadcasting or hosting rights for certain FIFA competitions is only one part of the measures needed to address the situation.
The statement signals that the dispute between UEFA and FIFA's leadership remains unresolved, with UEFA indicating that further steps are required before it would consider withdrawing its threat to skip the World Cup.
