Dispute in football: Europe threatens with a boycott
185
The UEFA is a group for football in Europe. All 55 lands make a choice now. They threaten the FIFA with a boycott. This means: Teams from Europe play no more at the world game. This is true for men and for women. They also stop visits to other games of the FIFA.
The cause is a plan by Gianni Infantino. He is the head of the FIFA. He wants to sell parts of the world game to private money givers. A new firm is born for this. This firm gets the name FIFA Forward Enterprise. It has a worth of about 20 billion dollar. Private firms can buy parts of this firm. The FIFA wants to earn much money in this way.
The UEFA says: The world game is no product for money. The football belongs to fans and players. It belongs not to private firms. The group CONCACAF is also against the plan. The lands USA, Mexico, and Canada belong to this group. The world game loses its worth without these big lands. Many people criticize Gianni Infantino very much now.
