UEFA Pez, Aleksander Čeferin (L) and FIFA Prez, Gianni InfantinoUEFA has doubled down on its threat to boycott FIFA-run competitions and reiterated its loss of confidence in Gianni Infantino’s presidency.
“UEFA’s associations were very clear about the conditions attached to their non participation in FIFA competitions,” a statement read.
In addition, UEFA made it abundantly clear in its statement on Saturday that it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino’s presidency.
If no accord is reached before the Under-20 Women’s World Cup, which begins in Poland on 5 September, that would be the first tournament subjected to a UEFA-led boycott.
UEFA remain hopeful that they can exploit divisions within FIFA’s leadership despite the Infantino-led show of unity following a meeting of some of their management board in Rabat on Wednesday.
