UEFA threatens World Cup boycott after Concacaf rejects FIFA plan

FIFA's proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup has faced strong opposition from major confederations.

UEFA has threatened to boycott the tournament if the plan goes ahead, while Concacaf has also rejected the idea outright. The move, pushed by the FIFA president, aims to bring in private equity investment but has drawn criticism from football's governing bodies. Both groups argue that it could undermine the integrity of the competition and the control of national associations. Discussions are ongoing, but the rejections mark a significant setback for the proposal ahead of future tournaments.
