UEFA is considering a boycott of FIFA events, according to a person familiar with the matter, in a seismic rift between the most powerful governing bodies of football. In response, UEFA has held internal discussions about how clubs and member associations could boycott events. “This crosses a line that football’s governing institutions should never cross,” said UEFA, which comprises 55 of the FIFA members. FIFA said the proposed company, FIFA Forward Enterprise, would remain under its control, with investors permitted to acquire only minority, non-controlling stakes. UEFA, however, fears that the introduction of private capital could give FIFA still greater influence over member associations and their national clubs.
