UEFA warns of world cup boycott
166
UEFA has a big meeting. All 55 countries from Europe join. They make a clear choice. They want no more games from FIFA. This is also true for the world cup. The reason is a plan from Gianni Infantino. He is the boss of FIFA. He wants to sell parts of the world cup. Rich people should buy these parts. FIFA wants much money.
UEFA says: The world cup is not for sale. Football is not only for money. The countries from Europe protect the sport. They say no to the plan. Germany is also against it. Without the teams from Europe, the world cup loses much value. Famous teams like Germany or France are missing.
FIFA gives a date. Until September 19, the countries must agree. Infantino says: The money helps football worldwide. He sees the sale as a big chance. But UEFA stays strict. They play again only when the plans stop. This also affects the world cup for women next year.
