World Cup boycott latest: Infantino refuses to back down after Uefa say they’ll refuse to play in Fifa tournaments

UEFA have agreed to boycott the FIFA World Cup and all FIFA tournaments if president Gianni Infantino's proposals to privatise its competitions are voted through. Infantino has refused to back down from his privatisation plans despite the threat from European football's governing body. The standoff represents a major escalation in tensions between UEFA and FIFA over the commercialisation of the sport's premier international competitions.
