FIFA Pushes World Cup Consultation Amid Backlash

FIFA is proceeding with its consultation plan for World Cup investment despite facing a boycott threat from UEFA member nations.

FIFA has responded to the threat of boycott from European nations with a statement insisting that "nobody is selling football". The organization blamed media reports for disrupting its consultation process over controversial plans to sell chunks of the World Cup to US-based private investment. After an emergency meeting on Thursday, UEFA member associations agreed to boycott all FIFA tournaments, including World Cups, unless the proposal was abandoned entirely. umafrika.club
