Europe Boycotts FIFA Over World Cup Sale | Virginia Beach News
Description
Europe’s football federations are staging a historic boycott of all FIFA competitions, including the World Cup, after FIFA President Gianni Infantino unveiled plans to sell a 20% stake in the tournament to a New York investment firm tied to the Kushner family. UEFA, the European governing body, has declared this a betrayal of football’s soul, insisting the World Cup belongs to the sport—not private investors. The fallout threatens Infantino’s re-election and could reshape global football governance, as even Asia joins the chorus of concern. With UEFA threatening to pull out entirely unless the plan is scrapped, Infantino’s bold move may backfire—turning a leadership gamble into a leadership crisis.
