Război total în fotbal: UEFA boicotează Cupa Mondială dacă planurile FIFA sunt aprobate • Newsweek România

The conflict between UEFA and FIFA escalates as UEFA threatens to boycott World Cup events if FIFA's new competition calendar is approved. This proposed calendar, which includes a World Cup every two years, jeopardizes UEFA's financial dominance and could lead to player burnout. UEFA argues that the increased frequency of international tournaments would devalue existing competitions and harm player health. In response, UEFA has formed a strategic alliance with CONMEBOL to strengthen their position against FIFA. A boycott could render FIFA's tournaments irrelevant without the participation of major football nations.
