UEFA a decis: Va boicota competițiile FIFA dacă planurile privind Cupa Mondială se vor concretiza
UEFA's 55 member federations unanimously decided to boycott FIFA competitions if plans to sell stakes to private investors proceed. This decision was made during a meeting where UEFA reiterated its strong opposition to FIFA's proposal, emphasizing that the World Cup should not be treated as an investment product. UEFA stated that no national team affiliated with them will participate in FIFA competitions as long as these proposals are in place. FIFA's plan includes creating a $20 billion subsidiary to manage the World Cup and other tournaments, offering up to 20% stakes to external investors. UEFA criticized FIFA for prioritizing profit over the integrity of football.
