European nations are discussing boycotting the World Cup if Gianni Infantino pushes ahead with plans to sell off part of FIFA to private investors, Sky News can reveal. We understand that there is a willingness for European nations to use the ultimate threat of boycotting the World Cup if Infantino does not back down. The next World Cup is the women's tournament in Brazil next year. His salary last year reached $6m - almost half from his bonus rising 33% from delivering the first-expanded Club World Cup in the United States. But it's understood Infantino could move into a more lucrative role overseeing the World Cup if the spin-off is approved.
