UEFA Stands Firm: 'We're Boycotting FIFA Tournaments, Lost Faith in Infantino'

The strong stance from Nyon is directed at the management of world football's top official, who is reportedly ready to 'privatise' the World Cup. The statement adds: 'Attempts to distort the game in this way will not be repeated'.

UEFA has reaffirmed its hardline stance against FIFA and its president Gianni Infantino, reiterating the boycott threatened just days ago. An official statement declared that 'the loss of confidence in Gianni Infantino's presidency remains unchanged', citing that 'proposals to privatise the main competitions have not been withdrawn' and there has been no guarantee that 'attempts to distort the game in this way will not be repeated'.
