The 55 member associations of UEFA, European soccer’s governing body, have publicly agreed to boycott future editions of all FIFA international tournaments should the plans to sell their commercial rights go ahead.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino, who was UEFA’s general secretary before he took over world soccer’s governing body in 2016, sparked outrage in Europe when his plans to create and sell off shares in a company which would control men’s and women’s World Cups and Club World Cups was unveiled on Tuesday.
