Reaction as UEFA vote to boycott World Cup and CONCACAF reject FIFA investor plans - Reuters

UEFA has voted to boycott the World Cup while CONCACAF rejected FIFA investor plans. This collective opposition to selling parts of the World Cup to private equity has shifted the focus toward the survival of Gianni Infantino's presidency. The revolt by these major football confederations puts the FIFA leader's position in significant jeopardy as the proposal to involve private equity investors faces strong resistance from the governing bodies responsible for regional football management and competition.
