UEFA is set to continue its boycott the World Cup until Gianni Infantino is removed from his position, Daily Mail Sport understands.European football’s governing body today issued a statement reiterating that it had lost confidence in the FIFA president in the wake of his aborted World Cup sell-off.UEFA previously said that Infantino’s proposal would have to be withdrawn and that it would need assurances that such ‘attempts to disfigure the game this way will never be made again’ before it lifted its self-imposed ban.However, it is believed that – as things stand - anything less than Infantino’s head would not be enough to ensure the likes of champions Spain, England, France and Germany take part in four years’ time.An international football insider told Daily Mail Sport: ‘This had to be done. He has to go and this is the only way to force him out.’ On Wednesday night, FIFA announced Infantino had the backing of members of the body’s council after crisis talks in Morocco.The beleaguered Swiss had summoned officials to his hotel as part of what appears to be, for now, a successful attempt to cling to power.He had faced a major backlash since plans to sell off stakes in the World Cup emerged. But amid widespread outrage and opposition, those plans were dumped. Following the hotel summit FIFA issued a statement saying execs had given their 'full support' to Infantino while acknowledging 'mistakes' in the dropped plan.
