The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) announced on Thursday that it would boycott future men's and women's World Cups in response to FIFA President Gianni Infantino's plan to allow private investment in its competitions.
In a statement issued after an emergency meeting of its 55 member associations, UEFA "unanimously and unequivocally" rejected FIFA’s proposal to launch a new World Cup spin-off. The plan involves selling stakes of up to 20% to external investors, including Joshua Kushner, whose brother Jared is US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law.
