World soccer’s governing body said the FFE proposal was “now off the table.” It described the FFE proposal as “dangerous” and said it pointed to deeper concerns about how the governing body operates. A FIFA spokesperson said it’s “false and misleading to claim the FIFA president has made any promise in relation to hosting the FIFA World Cup 2030 final. European soccer’s governing body UEFA has applied the most intense pressure by voting to boycott the World Cup if Infantino pressed ahead with FFE. The governing body for North and Central American and Caribbean soccer (CONCACAF) also said FIFA leadership had “stopped putting football first.”
