Uefa threatens boycott of World Cup amid governance changes

Uefa announced it will boycott the World Cup if Gianni Infantino's proposals to privatize FIFA competitions proceed. This decision was confirmed during an emergency meeting, where Uefa stated no teams would compete under the current governance structure. European nations have historically been central to the World Cup, having produced five winners since 1966 and contributing significantly to tournament participation. The potential boycott could reshape the 2030 World Cup, which is scheduled to be co-hosted by Spain and Morocco. The impact on the Women's World Cup in Brazil could also be significant, as European teams are expected to play a key role in terms of interest and competition.
