Infantino is facing significant pressure to resign following his attempt to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors, a plan that was widely condemned and rejected by Uefa and two other continental confederations. Uefa stated that Fifa's backing of Infantino "changes nothing" and that the conditions for ending its boycott, which include the withdrawal of the proposals and assurances against future attempts to "disfigure the game”, have not been met. The European governing body also explicitly stated it has lost confidence in Infantino's presidency, a position it maintains. This reiterated boycott casts doubt on the participation of European teams in upcoming tournaments, such as the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland next month.
