European nations plan FIFA World Cup boycott over investment dispute
On Thursday, all 55 member associations of UEFA reached a unanimous decision to boycott FIFA tournaments, which includes both the men's and women's World Cups. This move comes in response to FIFA's proposal to sell a 20% stake in a newly formed commercial division to private backers for a sum reaching $4.2 billion. UEFA maintains that the competition should not be treated as an investment asset, whereas FIFA has asserted that it will maintain full control and ownership at all times.
