UEFA escalates World Cup boycott threat against FIFA President Infantino
UEFA has doubled down on its threat that European member associations will boycott future men's and women's World Cups if Gianni Infantino remains FIFA President. This follows FIFA's abandonment of a controversial plan to raise capital from private investors, which had triggered the governance crisis. The Football Association of England has formally rescinded its backing for Infantino's re-election.
