Uefa agrees to boycott Fifa competitions if World Cup sell-off plans proceed

All 55 UEFA member associations voted unanimously (55-0) at an emergency meeting on Thursday to boycott all FIFA competitions if president Gianni Infantino proceeds with plans to sell portions of the World Cup to US-based private investors. The boycott would begin with next year's Women's World Cup. Despite earlier concerns that smaller nations might be swayed by the financial incentives in Infantino's proposal, UEFA members presented a united front, issuing a statement that they 'unanimously and unequivocally reject' the plans.
