UEFA maintains FIFA boycott, cites unmet conditions for participation

UEFA confirmed its boycott of FIFA competitions, including World Cups, following an emergency meeting of its 55 member federations on July 30. The confederation remains unsatisfied with FIFA's response to demands, particularly regarding the withdrawal of controversial proposals to sell shares of the World Cup. FIFA president Gianni Infantino is facing increased calls for his resignation, despite support from some federations in Africa and Asia. The upcoming U-20 Women's World Cup in Poland is set to begin on September 5, with six European teams still amidst uncertainty regarding their participation due to the ongoing boycott discussions.
