Uefa’s 55 member associations have voted to boycott World Cups if Fifa proceeds with its plan to sell stakes in its competitions to private investors. The decision was made at an emergency meeting called to discuss the proposals announced by Fifa – world football’s governing body – on Tuesday. The boycott would cover all Fifa competitions, including the men’s and women’s World Cups and Club World Cup, and be triggered if Fifa president Gianni Infantino’s proposals are voted through by member associations. The first time this stance will be tested is October, when the Women’s World Cup play-offs are due to be held. In a statement released after the meeting, Uefa said it and its 55 member associations “stand as one”.
