UEFA Threatens FIFA Boycott Over World Cup Investment PlanThe Union of European Football Associations, UEFA, has voted unanimously to boycott all FIFA competitions if world football’s governing body proceeds with plans to sell minority ownership stakes in the FIFA World Cup and other tournaments to private investors. “The FIFA World Cup belongs to football. “The World Cup is not for sale.” The boycott would affect all FIFA tournaments involving UEFA members, with the first event scheduled to take place after the decision being the FIFA Women’s Under-20 World Cup in Poland in September. The move represents one of the biggest disputes between FIFA and UEFA in recent years.
