European nations to boycott World Cup if Fifa goes ahead with investment plan | BBC News

Uefa's 55 member associations have voted to boycott World Cups if Fifa proceeds with its plan to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors. The decision was made at an emergency meeting called to discuss the proposals announced by Fifa - world football's governing body - on Tuesday. Uefa, which governs European football, had made its opposition clear by releasing two damning statements about the plans - and that strength of feeling has now been reaffirmed. The boycott would cover all Fifa competitions, including the men's and women's World Cups and Club World Cup, and be triggered if Fifa president Gianni Infantino's proposals are voted through by member associations.
