UEFA mantiene amenaza de boicot tras disculpa de la FIFA por plan del Mundial

El 6 de agosto, la UEFA afirmó que sigue sin confiar en el presidente de la FIFA Gianni Infantino y que no levantará su amenaza de boicot a las competiciones de la FIFA hasta que se cumplan sus exigencias, pese a la disculpa de la FIFA por el plan abandonado de venta de participaciones de los derechos del Mundial. El conflicto se originó a principios de agosto, cuando Infantino presentó una propuesta para crear una filial comercial de 20 mil millones de dólares y vender un 20 por ciento de los ingresos del Mundial a inversores privados, medida que la UEFA y otras confederaciones denunciaron como una privatización de los activos del fútbol.

La UEFA, junto con la CONCACAF, votó para boicotear los torneos de la FIFA y el asesor senior Carlos Cordeiro renunció en protesta. Tras la amplia oposición, Infantino anunció la cancelación del proyecto, lo que llevó a la UEFA a declarar la pérdida de confianza y a advertir sobre posibles acciones legales contra la FIFA y la firma de capital de riesgo Thrive Capital.
