Cutremur în fotbalul mondial: Federațiile europene iau în calcul boicotarea Cupei Mondiale din cauza planurilor FIFA
Several European federations are considering a boycott of the World Cup if FIFA President Gianni Infantino proceeds with plans to sell part of FIFA's new commercial entity to private investors. UEFA is holding an emergency meeting to discuss opposition to the $20 billion project, which aims to create a subsidiary called FIFA Forward Enterprise. The proposal has sparked significant backlash, with UEFA stating that the governance of football should not be treated as a tradable asset. Tensions between UEFA and FIFA have escalated, particularly between Infantino and UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. FIFA argues that the new structure will allow for greater financial distribution to member federations, but UEFA's opposition could impact FIFA's commercial success.
