European football governing body UEFA has unanimously threatened to boycott the World Cup and other FIFA competitions if FIFA proceeds with its new investment plan. The plan, announced by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, involves selling stakes to external investors through a subsidiary responsible for organizing tournaments. This proposal has drawn widespread criticism from across the global football community. UEFA member federations expressed their opposition during a vote on July 30th, signaling a significant escalation in the dispute. The threat of a boycott represents a serious challenge to FIFA's authority and the future of its major tournaments. The disagreement centers around concerns over the commercialization of the game and potential conflicts of interest stemming from external investment. FIFA has yet to respond to UEFA's ultimatum.
