European football to boycott World Cups over Fifa investment plans
European football associations have voted to boycott all Fifa competitions if the body sells stakes in its events to private investors. Uefa, European football's governing body, said on Thursday that the World Cup "is not for sale" and shouldn't be treated as an investment product. Fifa President Gianni Infantino needs 106 votes from 211 member associations to pass his controversial proposal.
