Uefa is now expected to end its threat to boycott Fifa competitions, after getting reassurances that plans to sell off World Cup stakes to private investors won't happen again. European football's governing body previously warned conditions for preventing a boycott hadn't been met despite the plan being scrapped. The Under-20 Women's World Cup, with six European teams, will go ahead next month.
