Uefa joins Concacaf, AFC in opposing Fifa's World Cup sell-off plans

Uefa has threatened to boycott the World Cup and all Fifa competitions, joining Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in opposing Gianni Infantino's proposal to sell stakes in the tournament to private investors. The three football governing bodies warn that confidence in Fifa's governance has been undermined. Fans express concern over the increasing commercialization of the sport, fearing a shift towards an Americanized version of football. The situation has escalated ahead of a scheduled vote on the proposal set for September 19.
