UEFA is set to continue its boycott the World Cup until Gianni Infantino is removed from his position, Daily Mail Sport understands.
European football’s governing body today issued a statement reiterating that it had lost confidence in the FIFA president in the wake of his aborted World Cup sell-off.
UEFA previously said that Infantino’s proposal would have to be withdrawn and that it would need assurances that such ‘attempts to disfigure the game this way will never be made again’ before it lifted its self-imposed ban.

Huge amount of money at stake. Whoever controls FIFA owns a personal goldmine. Swiss laundrymen bankers already have numbered accounts ready for the winners.
They way I read this European hissy fit is a flagrantly corrupt referee made an obviously fake and biased call, he got overruled and Europe was embarrassed and now furious this was called out.
They are using the idea of outside investors as a foil for cover, saying there is moral crisis to justify removing the guy, nothing more the petty revenge and anti-American sentiments.
And soon it'll belong to the EU...
No. It’s about exactly what’s being said. Infantino secretly negotiated a deal to sell a big chunk of the World Cup to private equity for no good reason and kept it from the board, even though the board would have to approve it. Also the deal had a hard deadline (again, no good reason) of Sep 19th for the signing, and said deal still hadn’t been presented to them by the end of July. So it looks like there’s some poison pill in the deal that he was hoping the board wouldn’t have time to notice. The whole thing stinks.
And keep in mind CONCACAF (which includes America) and AFC (Asia and Australia) are aligned with UEFA on hating this deal.
Should fire him, just for having the hydration breaks.
And the Saudis or Dubai would have been the ones buying that equity.
No thanks.
Fair enough, all seemed a bit muddled to me.
It is muddled. Because Infantino made it muddled.
There might be a problem getting rid of him without losing a major lawsuit he can file. He has never been criminally convicted of an illegal act. And he has been in court a few times. I don’t know how much money he would have got by doing an illegal act, but the payoff to get rid of him is going to cost them a skitpot...probably more.
