UEFA has announced a boycott of all FIFA competitions, including the World Cup, in protest against FIFA President Gianni Infantino's proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to private equity investors. The European football body stated that the World Cup belongs to football and should not be for sale. This decision comes after UEFA's 55 member federations held an urgent meeting to discuss Infantino's plan, which involves spinning off FIFA's commercial operations into a new subsidiary potentially 20% owned by private investors, with a US investment firm linked to Joshua Kushner reportedly being the core investor.
