UEFA threatens FIFA World Cup boycott over Infantino's $20B investor plan
UEFA has threatened to boycott FIFA competitions if Gianni Infantino's $20 billion investor plan moves ahead.
The plan involves creating a new company called FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), with 20% ownership going to private investors.
UEFA said the World Cup should never be privately owned and belongs to football.
The proposed plan would double basic FIFA funding for member associations to $20 million over the next four years.
The next affected tournament could be the Women's Under-20 World Cup in Poland starting September 5.
