UEFA is expected to withdraw its threat to boycott FIFA competitions after receiving assurances that FIFA Forward Enterprise proposals to sell stakes in the World Cup and other major tournaments to private investors will not be revived. The issue is due to be formally discussed Thursday by UEFA’s Executive Committee in Monaco. The dispute began after FIFA unveiled the plan on July 28 and escalated when UEFA’s 55 member associations unanimously backed a boycott unless the proposal was withdrawn in its entirety and similar private-ownership plans permanently ruled out. FIFA withdrew the proposal on Aug. 1 after opposition from UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation and CONCACAF, but initially did not provide the requested guarantees. The expected resolution will allow six European teams to participate in the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, while UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin continues to pressure FIFA President Gianni Infantino over his leadership ahead of next March’s election.
