Uefa holds emergency meeting to discuss World Cup boycott of Fifa plan

Uefa will meet on Friday to consider a boycott of the World Cup, responding to Gianni Infantino's plan to privatize the tournament. The proposal has prompted widespread backlash from European football stakeholders, including the Football Association and various club organizations. Concerns include a lack of consultation and the unilateral nature of Infantino's decision. Uefa's discussions will also examine potential actions in cooperation with the European Commission, with scrutiny on competition law implications. At the meeting, Uefa may explore using the boycott as leverage against Fifa's privatization efforts.
