European football governing body UEFA has threatened to go ahead with a boycott of FIFA events despite FIFA offering an apology over its handling of a proposed private investment plan.
In a statement on Thursday, UEFA said: "UEFA’s associations were very clear about the conditions attached to the non-participation in FIFA competitions."
"First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again," it continued, adding: "These conditions have not been met."
