UEFA and CONCACAF Reject FIFA's World Cup Stake Sale Proposal

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is facing serious pressure after UEFA announced they would boycott FIFA tournaments if the proposed sale of a stake in the World Cup proceeds. CONCACAF has also rejected the proposal, leaving Infantino isolated on one of his most significant financial initiatives. A UEFA boycott of FIFA tournaments would represent an unprecedented rupture in world football governance, with consequences for every major international competition.
