UEFA has doubled down on its threat of European member associations boycotting future men’s and women’s World Cups.This comes after Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president, received “full support” from the senior leadership in attendance at a crisis meeting in Morocco on Wednesday.UEFA’s initial threat to boycott future FIFA tournaments last week was in response to Infantino’s failed FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal that would have seen FIFA make stakes in world soccer’s commercial and event operations, including the World Cups and Club World Cups, available for private investment.European football’s governing body has made clear that the option remains on the table despite Infantino’s apology on Wednesday.“UEFA’s associations were very clear about the conditions attached to the non participation in FIFA competitions,” a UEFA spokesperson told The Athletic on Thursday.“First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again.“These conditions have not been met. In addition, UEFA made it abundantly clear in its statement on Saturday that it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino’s presidency. That position holds.
