FIFA Backing Infantino ‘Changes Nothing’, W/Cup Boycott Stands, Says UEFA
['The Whistler']
The Whistler Newspaper
UEFA’s 55 member associations had resolved last week to stay away from FIFA tournaments unless Infantino scrapped his privately funded FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) plan.
The scheme was pulled last Friday, but UEFA says that alone isn’t enough to call off the boycott.

“My FA and I will not endorse president Infantino, nor will we vote for him.”
