Uefa poised to lift boycott threat after Fifa promises no World Cup sale repeat

Uefa is set to drop its threatened boycott of Fifa competitions after receiving binding guarantees that Fifa will never again attempt to sell stakes in the World Cup, as was proposed under Gianni Infantino's ill-fated plan. European teams are now expected to be cleared to participate in the upcoming Under-20 Women's World Cup and subsequent tournaments. The Guardian reports that Fifa provided the concrete assurances that resolved the standoff between the two governing bodies.
