UEFA likely to end FIFA boycott ahead of U-20 Women's World Cup

UEFA is poised to drop its threat to boycott FIFA events, allowing the U-20 Women's World Cup to proceed next month in Poland. This development follows FIFA's assurances that it would not move forward with a controversial plan to sell stakes in the World Cup. UEFA officials are set to confirm this decision during an executive committee meeting in Monaco. The U-20 Women's World Cup, scheduled for September 5-27, had faced uncertainty amid the boycott threat, but it now appears to be on track. U.S. head coach Vicky Jepson expressed confidence in the tournament's continuation.
